Door ajar sound?

[shyster77]

Folks,

I'd been noticing this for the past few days - happens intermittently but when I turn off the ignition and open the door - the sound that typically comes from when you drive without your seat belt, comes on but stays constant. The sound goes off when the door is closed. It is almost like when the ignition is on (and not the engine) and a door is opened.

Have you seen this before?

Any insights are much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

Could be a main battery issue -- when was the last time you replaced?

Make sure you didn't accidently hit the turn-signal on the way out.. that turns on the parking light on that side, and makes the door chime bong away when the door is open just to tell you that you did it. BTDT, and I usually forget about what's causing it next time it happens, until I figure it out again.

Don - this makes total sense! :clapping: Noticed the sound today and also saw that the tiny lamp in the headlight and the side marker were lit - even after the car was locked.

Will look out for this the next time! :unsure:
