Default having a small problem
my soor signal is going bad. Whenever I close the door it sometimes indicates that it is still open and I have to open and then slam it shut. How do I fix this problem?

Try lubricating the switch at the door. The spring and or plunger may be sticking.

do you think WD40 will do the trick with all the electronics in there?

Shouldn't be a problem. Just spray the little plunger that turns your dome light on/off and nothing else.
