Hi.

My Roomster had developed a fault. The door warning light is staying on. Also the internal lights stay on even with all the doors shut and the car locked.

Does anyone have experience of this or can guide me to where the fault may lie?

is a door open light a test failure? Test is due in a few weeks,

 

I have switched off the cab lights and removed the boot light module to save the battery.

The tailgate on my 2009 Roomster Scout needed determined closure (minor slam!) in order to overcome this problem.  A few other Roomster owners have reported the same issue in the past.

I have to slam mine quite hard anyway but perhaps that is a clue.

Does anyone one know where the switch of sensor is on the tailgate? Just been looking and cannot see one.

It is a micro switch inside the lock. So you have to dismantle the lock into pieces in order to reach it. It is doable but time consuming and quite difficult. This is all over the locks of the car.

 

But before dismantling anything, I suggest to check for split wires either on the boot's gaiter on the top left, or at the drivers A pillar inside the rubber gaiter from A pillar to door. 

 

Thanks. That explains why I could not see anything. I will look at the boot gaiter first. A year is so ago a couple of wires broke there and the washer hose broke. It seems the most likely location. That gaiter also tends to pop off and has recently leaked a lot of water into the body cavity. Hopefully it is just a damaged cable. Not sure if I am out to dismantling then door locks right now. I do trust dealers with stuff like this. Too much scope for extortion.
