Default problem: right turn = doors unlock and interior light on

So it doesn't happen all the time and not at the same time, but sometimes when I am making a right turn my doors will unlock and more often my interior light will come on... again not all the time, but can happen 2-3 times a week..,..I am a big guy and thought maybe I was pushing on the door too much, but have tried to recreate and can't... I do have a lot of deadening and speaker work done.


anyone else have this problem?

since you've had alot of work done. It sounds more like you've got some chafed wires , you may want to pull the door panel and look at the wire bundles

I agree with lvbitwiz.

You do realize this will be the next chicken-little-sky-is-falling-need-a-professional-welder-to-fix-it thing now don't you.

sorry I use quick reply at the bottom with no emoticons

here is the link, and I just deleted the pics yesterday... honestly it was a minor, minor issue.... I was joking, about problems, I have owned more new cars than most people my age should and they ALL have problems.... the real issue is not when they are new, but how long do they last

did you turn off the auto lock on the doors, or is there something preventing the latch from catching?
