My 2000 A4 has been showing the "door ajar" symbol again now that it is warmer out. It started last fall, but then went away during the winter months. I know it is the microswitch in the drivers door and I thought it was bad and just needed to be replaced. But today I manually pressed it in with a thin screwdriver several times and it seems to function just fine, so now I am thinking it is an adjustment that needs to be made. Does anyone know how I could go about this? Any suggestions, or am I doomed to drive with the dome lights on from now on?

 

turn your dome light off?

 

Yeah thanks! I would pull the fuse but I would still have the annoying chime that doesn't go away fast enough. LOL

Tomorrow I am going to try and pull the rocker on the microswitch out a little and see if that helps.

 

Did you ever fix this problem... I have the same issue.

 

I'm wondering what the OP tested. It is a microswitch, but it's two switches and it's inside the flipp'n door latch. You can't get to it/them without taking the door apart. I also wonder if he knew there were two switches there.

I had the problem, took out the switch and tried to source it myself. No luck. I bought a whole new latch on eBay and used that.
