Subject: How to Disable 'Open Door' Beeping/Problem with locks
Author: bim95 : member since August, 2011 : 9 posts

Hey,

So I've got a 1994 BMW 740il.

I've got a couple of problems;

1. It constantly thinks that the Trunk Door and the rear right passenger door are open. So it makes that annoying beeping sound every time I hit even a slight bump. But I can assure you that these doors are indeed closed.

Is there any way to disable these sensors/alarms?

2. The door locks have been screwy lately. When I unlock the doors using the keyless entry system, they open for about 1-2 seconds, then lock right away. So once you press unlock, both you and your passengers have to open their doors right away to be able to get in.

3. Along with this lock problem, the driver side door does not unlock. I have to pull up on the manual lock controls ever so slightly to be able to open the door.

It's weird. The manual lock (the little nub that goes up and down when you lock/unlock your doors) it comes up, so you think the door is unlocked.. but it just requires a little extra tug to fully unlock. So it's a little bit of a hassle.


Anyways, if anyone could help with any of those problems, I would greatly appreciate it!
