Ok, please dont shoot me. I know this issue has been discussed to death here and on other forums. But please humor me for a moment. This is whats going on with my truck. First off, the interior dome light wont go out. When the key is in run, the door ajar light is on all the time. The chime (ding, ding, ding) goes for about 12 times then a beep and then it goes off. It does not ding constantly. It goes off when the truck is started. If I sit in the truck with the doors shut and the ignition in run it will ding 12 times, beep then stop. If I then open the pass door it will beep once. Opening the driver door has no effect. So, the fact that opening the pass door causes a beep leads me to believe that the pass switch is ok. But, since the chime goes away when the car gets started I thought that indicated that the pass switch was bad. Also, the beep will beep once if I plug in my seatbelt too. Oh, its a 96 regular cab 2wd 3.3 manual. Ive wd40d the crap out of both sides. Also, inside my drivers door there is a plug thats not plugged into anything. It is very dirty like it has not been plugged in for a long time. Also there is this circular thing on the end of a factory wire that just sits in the bottom of the door. I dont know what it is. I have power locks mirrors and windows and they are all working fine. Wow, that was long. Is it possible that the sensor is unplugged and what I think is the sensor with the wires plugged in to it is actually the door lock solenoid? Does unplugging the sensor cause it to read "open door" ? Sorry for the book.
