CM Driver's door electrical problems
A few months ago on my 1996 Coupe when the driver's door is opened the radio no longer shuts off, dome lights don't come on, hatch latch release on door will not open hatch. Where would be a good starting place to track down the problem? If I program the FOB to unlock/lock the doors automatically when walking up to or away from the car, never know if the doors are going to lock/inlock.

Thanks,

Appears that the door ajar switch is acting up. You can try lubing it or replacing it? Located at the rear of the door. I guess the pass/side switch works ok. It will foul up you PKE.............

Yes, you can pull the plunger out carefully with a tool & lube it.
