I changed the driver and passenger door actuators and the light still isn’t gone. I’m not sure why the rear ones would be bad as the rear doors barely get used.

You access the loom from the outside from memory. Door open, use a nylon trim tool to remove the boot seal on the body side carefully annnnnd I don’t remember how the plug comes away from there. It does though.

Something unclips and you can pull the loom out a bit to unplug it.

A very long shot....

Do the overseas versions of the Commodore check if the boot and or fuel cap are open? I had an old NL Fairlane and it would show if these were open too.

Just a thought.

I have never had an open fuel cap or trunk send a light. Mine doesn’t even show when the passenger seatbelt isn’t in.
