Door open warning

Hey G37 owners!

I'm new to this forum, this is my first post...I just picked up an 08 G37S in Diamond Graphite last saturday...anyways, i absolutely love this car, and i'm a noob at Nissans (coming from a Honda/Acura family)...anyways, i have a slight problem with my door open warning indicator....whenever i'm driving over 60km/h, and i hit a slight bump in the road, my indicator will show that the driver door is open...then after a few seconds, it'll turn off...anyone else have this problem? i'm hoping it's just a loose wire somewhere...

oh, and the window will open slightly then close after a few seconds...and no, the door is not half closed...

Sounds like something is loose that triggers the open door warning.

The window rolls down slightly when you open the door, then rolls up slightly when you close the door: It is working properly, not a problem.

Sounds like your first warranty issue. It is probably as you suggested, a loose wire or a bad or poorly installed door contact switch.

Hey, It will all settle out. Good call on the bra.Well worth it when done right! Did Ya Hav'em do the inside of the outer door handles too. (no ring scratches) I had mine done a few days after I picked it up and got the use of a brand new sedan while it was being done.
Congratzi on the new ride and welcome to our world!

if you saw the "sand" ( small rocks) they put on the roads around here in winter you would too. my 08 had rock picks all over the roof. And i did clearplex on the windshield and it saved me on the drive home huge rock would have smashed the windshield for sure.

If the dealer did some work with an alarm sensor or alarm system for the car, it's probably a wiring problem they created while doing so. There are sensors on the alarm that detect when the door is opened, and the wires have to be spliced into the wires that detect when the door is opened. A bad ground or a weak splice could cause exactly what you're talking about.

I'll bet they just need to check their splices and grounds for the alarm system.
