Door Sensor bad?

Like it said, I check all the doors and they all seem closed. When I drive the like tells me that the door is open..well it kinda flickers. The wierd thing is that the automatic door lock and unlock works great when its like this but the if the light does not flicker(rarely) the door auto door unlock does not work as it should. Anyway to check it myself or do I have to take to the dealer?

Locking Problem

It could be because the key fob battery is dead or faulty. Check if the fuse is blown or if the solenoid is bad. One another reason could be if the wire is broken

If it is intermittent, the dealer is not going to find it and you will have a big bill. Odds are it is a defective door switch. I would disconnect the driver's side door switch for a while and see if the problem goes away. If it does, go get and replace the door switch.
If the problem is still there then try the same thing on the other doors one at a time.

Thanks. I'll try that.
