    Need Help weird thing

    I just went to grocery store, when I came back in the car, and start driving, my windows won't open. and noticed that display showing all doors are open. except driver door. even though all doors are shut.
    what is causing this?
    anyone has any idea?
    I can lock and unlock the door with remote after engine is off, but I can't lock etc from the button in the car either.

    figured out. I checked all fuse and dome light fuse was out...
    this is kinda interesting one fuse (domelight) does all this. maybe because of the convinience feature that they have?

    weird, replaced fuse for dome lights, drove again on dirt road goin 15mph or so, I saw dome lights came on when I hit the bumps, then fuse burnt again.
    I see everything shut. maybe door sensor start going bad? or shorting somewhere?
    any idea? suggestion to look for?

    I have the same thing, trouble shot it to my driver's side seat....try unplugging everything from your seat (you'll lose your controls, heat etc.) then one by one plug 1 in till it pops again. I've got heat and such and such, everything BUT controls, no back and forth, or lumbar. I read in Stoney's links some people found something in the lumbar...other than that I haven't had time to tear my seat apart. Good luck! pm me if you have any more questions.

    yeah finally sky are clear for a while and noticed the driverside rear dome light was out, so went to advance auto and got bulb no light still. and also noticed that window stop workin on that door as well.
    on the audiforum one certified tech suggested to check the loom so I did check on the loom by the door then found one wire cut, another one showing copper and that's about exact places they will touch.

    and after I look at this I realized, after I came back to the car from grocery store, I did open that door, put the grocery bag and shut. got in the car and this started to happen.
    since I don't have tools here (always happens when I take my tool box out of the trunk!)
    I gotta fix it when I go back to my home tonight or tomorrow to reconnect those wires and cover them up good. brown wire was cut, red wire was showing the copper in 2 places, so maybe open/close door touched that wire togather and causing this prob.

    I hope that's the only problem causing this though. If not I'll have to rip the carpet and check around CCM and maybe chek looms on other doors.
