on my old saxo, if i had my lights on, and then went to open my door it would make the noise to let me know, and also the sunroof light goes on.

on my new vtr it doesn't do either, is this a fuse issue, or something a bit more complicated?

thanks

Try the switches on the door frame,be careful when pulling them out, the wires love to fall

mine was exactly the same never worked when first got mine, turned out to be the switches on the doors, as said watch the wires when pulling the switch through the hole mine come off, but managed to fish it out :P

Can you just clarify when you say the switches? Not the cabling connecting between the car door and the actual car?

Thanks
