Why is my alarm going off and door ajar on display?
My alarm will sound for no apparent reason on my 2004 Acura TL. The cluster says that the rear right door is open
when it is closed. It has happened twice while it was raining outside. Any advice, troubleshooting or help is greatly
appreciated!!!
The sensor is located in the door latch area, spray it down with some WD-40. Sometimes they get dirty losing the electrical contact.
Well, I replaced the door sensor and all was great for a few days until it rained here in Richmond, VA today. What I do not understand is if the alarm is too sensitive to rain, then why would it make my door read as being open in the cluster and make my dome light come on? Somebody please help........
I don't know the answer, but my car has the exact same issues, except I found when I set the alarm off with the key fab, and let it honk, I instantly hit the unlock button once and it deactivated the alarm and it would stay quiet for the rest of the day, even in the rain...however, the LAST time I did that, I left for a week and had my parents watch the car, and it lasted for a week and the alarm went off that Friday morning (couple weeks ago) and before they could turn it off, it turned itself off. I had my parents leave it unlocked all day and two days later I came home to find the battery dead and the back left window had rolled itself down sometime and water soaked in the vehicle. Put it on charger, and half an hour later, the window had put itself back down without any key in the ignition or any contact with anything. Just by itself. It's been drying in the garage and still haven't figured out the solution.
