Door Open?

[Imorales321]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and have already gained a lot of information about my 95 Pathy, so thanks! My pathfinder has the door open light on and I'm pretty sure all the doors are closed. I've already done multiple sweeps around opening and closing all the doors. Could this be anything else or have you had the same problem? I definitely don't wanna be driving with anything open. Thanks in advance for the help. ~Isaac

The light on the dash I assume?

 

Did you check the all doors and make sure all the knobs/sensors are working?

the most common cause I seem to recall is the sensor in the rear hatch not pressing in enough. Spacing it so it presses further in solves many people problem from my memory banks. I'm sure theres a thread around somewhere with some pics or at least a write up of some form. I'll see what I can dig

I think Nunya is correct on your issue. I shimmed up my rear striker using 2 washers on each side and havent ever had the problem again.

Mine doesn't have that sensor (not helpful lol) but it does have one in the tire carrier, which recently started acting up. I pulled it out, pulled the rubber cover off, and stuffed a little circle of rubber into it as a shim. Been working great since.

My 87 and the ole lady's 95 have issues with the passenger side front door

Thanks a ton for the help guys! Nunya was right with the rear hatch issue. Thanks again!
