I assume that there is an air leak somewhere but it might be impossible to figure out where. Strangely I noticed that the fuel cap stays open at all times and that the trunk lid functions normally.
I wouldn’t mind living with it but the hazards keep flashing and running down the battery. I assume this is because the control module thinks that the door is open. I find this confusing because surely the door ajar/open is communicated by an electric switch and so should be independent? Any ideas appreciated…
The pneumatic line for the doors pass through the ribbed hose at the bottom of the door, these are flexed every time the door is opened or closed and as the hose is vinyl they harden and crack. All replacements should be urethane hose.
The passenger door and the hatch are on the same circuit at the pump. The gas cap cover is a separate circuit and only locks when the car is locked using the fob. When the car is driven it remains open, it opens when the car is unlocked. I would look for a leak at the point it enters the door from the car body. The hose could quite easily be replaced with a urethane hose or the leak fixed in the leak area with a urethane hose which is a tight fit over the vinyl hose. The original hose is incorporated with the wire loom so most of it is left in place.
