Left lights on warning comes and goes

[metalworker0]

2006 1.8 transit connect.

About 6 months ago, the warning sound that i had left the lights on disappeared for about a week, then came back again .

Today it's gone again.

Where do think this fault is, where should i look first ..is it in the loom between door and A-post, or somewhere else.

I assume there would be a switch somewhere when the door is open, i wonder if your switch is not happy ?

Just had a look on mine I cant see where it would be.

Door card off and have a look maybe ?

I was after a go-to answer

it would be something if i knew where the speaker was , that would be my first go-to.

Pretty sure speaker is behind the cluster / clocks.

Logically the beep is activated when the door is adjar, as yours is intermittent id be first looking for the switch which activates the speaker. Probably sticking “door closed” position.

Speakers/ beeper unlikely the problem.

Does not happen when the passenger door is left open either, if it works that way that is.

Think its one of those Round-Tuit things.

Don't like taking door trims off, they usually break.

Will have to do it soon i think , as i'm having trouble with the locks, locking then unlocking, as well.

so maybe tomorrow ..or next week or next month

The passenger door won’t bring it on anyway.

Does the cabin light come on when the door is opened

Do you get the door ajar / symbol/ message on the dash ?

Does the cabin light come on when the door is opened

just looked, it has three positions ..only one works, that is permanently on , tried it with lights and ignition on as well.
the other two positions ..will assume one is permanently off , the other will be activates with door ..is that right...if it is like so, it rules out the speaker.

There must be some sort of switch inside the door like you said. ..probably hanging off or loose with the rest of the central locking stuff

Id say so yes… (switch) there is your go to answer, Mark.


Hope you get it sorted with minimal aggravation.

I'd guess it's the loom at the door junction. Taking the card off is always a pain. Seems impossible to get genuine clips that tend to shatter.
The only positive is you can pretend you have a pet hamster on long journeys as the door card starts to squeak!
