im not sure, but to just help you eliminate somethings. its not the box with the FR on it, thats just a box for the speaker. nothings in there. it might be the EP in it. test stuff from the passenger door. to help find out what worng. GL

Hey man, thats the one i switched out to fix my problems. The EP box.

And like I said before im almost 99% sure we had the exact same problem. Switching out bulbs, and then shorting, which led to the door not recognizing its closed.

no the wires are proabbly fine, because the only thing shorted is IN the box. Just buy rox, and replug everyhitng into the new one and it should be fine
