Hello everyone!
So I am out of state working and my wife just texted me saying our 02 G500 drivers door just stopped locking and unlocking. It works manually she says when the door is closed, but not when open. She also said it’s displaying the “door open” message along with the beeping. She said the key fab won’t work either, it will unlock/lock the passenger doors but just not driver door. She said the cabin lights would not turn off when she got home so she did that manually (door open sensor?).
Any thoughts as to why this would be happening? I know the actuators are prone to fail, but I think it’s interesting the “door open” message is being displayed and maybe it’s linked? I’ve never looked before, but where is the door open sensor? Is it just a pressure point or something different like is it in the latch?
Any thoughts on diagnosis? I’m out of state, so I’ll have to FaceTime my wife later.
Thank you in advance everybody!
