Before you start messing with the wiring,
get it scanned,
The BCM menu has a function for testing, and status of devices,
This will indicate which door appears to be open,
Then it’s a process of elimination by testing what needs replacement.
I took it to a shop and they couldn't find which door was open. Is that a shop problem or does my car not have that functionality? If the BCM knew which door was open why didn't holden just put that up on the screen.

Would have been a straight forward task for a decent workshop. Does require diagnostic skills. It’s not a question of plug in something and get answers. Answers have to be found on any car.

A good [High End] Diagnostic tool will indicate to which door appears open through the testing function.

The Diagnostic units for general DTC's do not have that functionality.


And your location is ?

Locations don’t appear on phones until the screen is rotated.

Ahh, that explains it, as I have the rotation locked.

I had to ask the location,
because some members indicate unusual/false locations.

The OP mentioned in the first post the Middle East, having the steering wheel on the opposite side to us, and seeing them put Saudi as a location, I made an assumption they might be telling the truth... :)

I forgot about that comment.
Oops !

All good.....I read through the whole thread, hence knowing this stuff....
Lol yea the mechanics here aren’t really that good. We try to get one thing fixed and they break another. The best thing is to just self diagnose issues but I can’t seem to diagnose this open door issue myself so I might have to send it to the dealer.
