| At different times the door ajar indicator will come on. this causes the interior lights in the vehichle to light up and is extremely hazardous at night. often times it will switch from the drivers door to the right passenger door and on occasion will indicate both.(one goes out and the other starts) this also causes the alarm system to engage. when i exit the vehicle, if sensors indicate that one of the doors is still ajar, the alarm activates intermittently. *ak | |||
