Hi fellow Audi Forumers,

I am looking for some light to be shed on a problem I have with the 2001 A3 sport that I have.

there are two issues which I suspect have a possible link.

1. The display on the dash shows drivers door is continuously open when it is not, the micro sensor was aparently changed by the previous owner to no affect.
2. The courtesy lights in the interior and in the boot do not work when the doors are opened but do illuminate when the doors are unlocked(for 5-10 seconds or so)

with much thanks,

Andy

 

Hi

I think all your grief is around the door latch sensor.

I have a new door latch sensor on order, as my A6 2001 is exhibiting the same behavior as you.

The kicker is, I've order a VW door latch sensor. The Audi new/used ones are $$'s

The picture for the VW door latch sensor looks identical to the audi one, and it was brand new on ebay for $50. I will post back results when in get it in a week or so.

 

I'm having similar problems... DIsplay indicates driver's door not closed when it is, causing interior light to stay on. This comes and go's however, some days it does it and some days it doesn't. Also, when i open the boot, the light there takes a while to come on....
