Door open light on Patrol

Hacksaw,
My Patrol did exactly the same thing and despite complaining to the dealer they gave me an assurance that it was quite OK. Didn't come on during a drive around the block I was told. Took it to another dealer and a quick adjustment fixed it. Would have tried it myself but desite all my efforts I couldn't loosen the screws and didn't want to tear the heads out. Haven't had another problem in the last five and a half years.

AAaa yes, I had this problem for weeks but only happened when off road. But I ended up turning the inside lights off. Then when I did a night drive I needed the inside light to look around. Then I started searching and found the seal around the back barn door had a crack in, I just taped it up with some tape and all sweet.

Have the same problem with mine. I found sometimes it's the rear doors. Most of the time it's the passenger door on the drivers side. The little rubber boot that covers the switch gets pulled of the end of the switch thats inside it and bends to the side when I shut the door. It does not actually come off the switch all together it's just like an extra bit of skin on the end that folds over causing the trouble. Funny thing is it's only ever done it on this one door.

Done the same thing on my Patrol, I fixed it myself by sticking on of those door stoppers that you stick on the wall to stop your door denting the plaster on to where your rubber connector hits the trigger switch at the bottom of the door,
works fine,

I just removed the door trim from the larger of the two rear doors and disconnected the plug. The switch on the other smaller door will tell me if the back doors arent shut properly.

Never had a problem since!

me too rear barn doors moving slightly...

Ours drives my husband crazy (i doesn't really bother me). He tried putting something to press the switch on the rear door in harder - successful for only a short while. Bought a new switch and fitted that - lasted a few weeks. The light is on all the time now. I said stick black tape over the spot on the dash so you can't see it - he did, but it doesn't quite cover it - he can still tell it's on. If we cover up any more we won't see if the headlights are on full beam.

If your's is new, definitely get the dealer to get it fixed, and let us know what it was in your case.
