Hey all,got an electrical problem and need a little guidance.First the symptoms. Sometimes headlights dont come on. The chime dings with key in ignition and doors closed. The door ajar light stays on when driving when doors are closed. The domelight stays on when door ajar light is on. The auto locks will sometimes work after driving a while. I,ve searched this but got a lot of info for each one but not all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.:-huh

I would start by spraying some WD40 or like, on the actuator for the doors, to eliminate most of the issues, maybe all of them. Could be VSM related though.

^Agree with the above.

Also, check under the dash for any signs of water.

You can use a Phillips screw driver to latch and unlatch the door while spraying it (I do this when I want the radio on and the door open without hearing the annoying dinging). Should fix all your problems except maybe the headlights.
