Driver's door keeps saying it is open even when it is closed

I took the rubber off the door wiring and it all looked okay. But, when the door is closed it thinks it’s open and continues to beep and won’t clear on the display. The only way I was able to clear this was by unplugging the car battery and completely disconnecting the door power module and plugging the battery back in. Now of course there is no power to the driver door and none of the windows go down. Does anyone know which color wire controls that door sensor so I can just cut it?

Hello again.

I wouldn't suggest cutting wires. It will cause the same problem by not completing the circuit. I would suggest testing the driver door module wire G75 (tan/red) to see if power is coming to the driver door lock motor ajar switch. If power is going from module to switch that would suggest faulty switch. If power is not coming out of module then that would indicate faulty module or problems coming from the BCM (body control module) Have you tested the wiring from the diagram I provided earlier? Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.
