hey, have u tried taking the main fuse out and waiting about 20-40 secs to see if it resets. cos sometimes the comp. goes crazy and reads, well, whatever it wants to.

Sounds like your door pillar switch wire is grounded I think its the red with yellow tracer wire and it will sometimes break and touch the body causing the circuit to be complete.

i think u would want to check that out. kansei is probably right cos i spoke to a friend who fixes cars and he thinks it`s having some contact.

I think there is a join where the pass. side wires join in I believe its under the drivers scuff plate.Also does your dome light stay on when set to door mode?

now that really sounds like the wiring is grounded. start at the drivers scuff plate, thats the join and the most common part to break, and work back to the doors . Also if you done any mods lately that required screwing something down or you removed panels check there you may have pinched a wire.Hope this helps.
