"Open Door" light on permanently, flashes on and off when left indicator is on HELP!

[gesta1t]

OK, so just replaced the ENTIRE wiring loom throughout the car, was working mint except for no left rear indicator light bulb. Put a bulb in, indicators work fine, except now the "open door" light is on permanently, even when car is off.

If I indicate to the left, the door open light flicks off and on with the indicator.

I get that there is possibly a crossed wire or some such but my electrical knowledge isn't good enough to figure out wtf is going on.

Any help would be great.

(have checked all door switches, taken battery off etc,)

It is probably more to do with a dodgy earth connection, as long as your loom installation did not include a hack and splice wires together.
Don't know where the earth connections are though.

nope no hack and splice (other than to put the alarm in, but that was fine and dandy)...any other ideas?

Years ago Kieran changed his wiring loom from non mmcs to mmcs. He had wierd things with his indicators too, iirc one of them came on with his reverse lights.

hmm, nope no mmcs on either of the looms...no wiring for them either

if it were me id start at the speedo cluster, and the alarm... if you can get to auckland i can have a dig around.

okeydokey cheers man, I'll have a poke around etc but if nothing works, ...I'll probably be heading up the friday of labour weekend, you gonna be around anywhere from 21st -24th?

If changing speedo cluster doesn't work, try to change the cabin fuse box next. Wires for indicators and open door lamp goes throught threre...
