My car acts like the door is open when its not, but it doesn't register on the driver info center. Is this a relay problem?

make sure that your switch is off inside the car for your dash lights, it may be in teh on position. then check to see if any of your door switches are rusted and the wires have fallen off and are grounding against the car. you may have to pull the kick panels off. if not then it may be a bad body control module as well.
