Door Open Light Staying On, Can't Arm Alarm

Jumped in my car one day to head home and halfway down the road I notice my door open light is on and the cabin light too. Pull over, check everything 3 times, everything is definitely shut. Happened suddenly, no warning and ever since it's been a continual problem the dash light for the door stays on and so does my cabin light. As a consequence I can't set the alarm, it chirps and complains that a door is open.

It's definitely not the door sensors. I've unplugged both doors and the boot, but the harness side still reads a short circuit or near enough (seems to have about 0.2V on the pins so resistance measurements are off but the meter reports around 30 ohms). So something's dicky. The passenger door, boot and drivers door all do this.

I've poked around at the alarm, even unplugged relays here and there but the interior light stays on. If I unplug the "Smart Entry Control" nissan module then the interior lights go out, BUT I still can't arm the alarm as it does the chirp that tells me a door is open.

Any ideas, before I call the alarm installer during the week?

chase the alarm wiring back through. most of them are found in the drivers sill on a 33. there is also a run of cable going up the A pillars. rip both off and check there.

failing that the cluster also takes the door wiring through it look there as well.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
