Hey,
My driver door on my 1995 850 Turbro Sedan has a problem. It isn't dented or anything, but the light that comes on when the door is open comes on even when it is closed. If I firmly close the door, while driving, ir I hit a bump, or accelerate hard, the light comes on, and it makes a dinging noise as if it were open. The light is the one by the driver door foot pedals. I think I have a bad hinge, that being said, besides this issue, the door seems to function fine. I was just wondering if there is anyway to disable the thing that makes the light come on, and triggers the dinging noise.

-Thanks

Something in the latch might be off some. There is a micro switch inside that might be going bad as well.

 

Thanks, is there an easy way to disable this all together?

-Thanks

 

Remove the bulbs, or see below for some serious disabling procedures. Consult EPA for local regulations before use.

Haha, I tried the grenade, but now my car wont start at all!!!! Haha, just kidding. Anyway, will removing the bulb stop the dinging sound or not?

-Thanks

 

I would just try to get a junkyard latch and replace it. That would be your best best at the moment. You cannot even pull the interior light fuse or it will ding all the time.

 

You can yank the "relay" and shut it up. It is located in the lower central electrical unit which is mounted high on the firewall behind the dash. The "relay" in question is number 212. It is typically blue and it has slots cut in the top of it. It really isn't a relay but it plugs in along with the relays.
