Open doors not detected

[adamloombe]

Hi guys,

Anyone knows what could be the reason for my car not detecting that the doors are open? (warning lights not coming on, interior light doesn't come on when door opens) This is on both driver and passanger side.

I have checked the fuses but couldn't find one that relates to car door sensors or anything like that.

I have a Mercedes C Class 2004 (W203)

Door pin switches fails often, check them. Weird that both fronts would have failed at the same time and similar way (door close detection), but if someone has 'fixed' more common fail where doors are detected open and central lock opens during drive etc. etc..?

Do the overheard console lights come on when the door is opened?

Hi all, thanks for your replies. I reset my console settings in the dash and started again, this made the interior lights and door open warning light work but only on passenger and rear doors, with further investigation i found that drivers door pin was broken also, will replace this soon. Any ideas on how much they cost from a dealer??

thanks again
