Asked by jbauschka Jun 07, 2014 at 10:43 PM about the 2004 Lexus GX 470 4WD

We had the door open for an extended time and when it was closed the dashboard

that the rear door is open.

just an Idea, I have a 1963 thunderbird with similar door on/off switches, these of mine were sealed so before buying a new one I drilled a small hole in the contact end of the barrel, squirted in some electrical contact oil, swish this around then re checked. I had to repeat to get a good contact
