Car Alarm Ajar goes off when turning left ??HELP!!
Hello There,
My 2006 Lexus IS250 RWD alarm ajar goes off while driving when turning left or going over a bump. The Message reads "Rear right door open" & I hear all the doors unlock and lock again . I checked the door and I can't even get it to pop open when I push from the inside out . Fast forward couple of weeks later, My dome lights and Garage door opener stopped working. When I located the fuse for the dome lights and tried to replace it , The fuse blows up within a minute (Yes I replaced with the same amp voltage) ?? What on earth is wrong with my car ? Is it a short somewhere ? I did get my car oil sprayed before this issue occurred but that was 3 months prior to when the issue happened!!
Any help would be appreciated? Also If someone has the electrical diagram that would be great.

I assume you oil sprayed underneath your vehicle? If so, I can't see how this would have anything to do with a faulty sensor, or wiring issue.
Does sound like a short but I may be a faulty switch. Are you able to remove the sensor and check over the wiring and the sensor? Possible remove the door panel to get better access to the wires for inspection? I would think this is your best starting point. Perhaps someone else may have had the same issue?

They Oil spray the entire car !! so Latches, Engine bay . They make holes into the car frame where the doors sit . This is the 8th Oil spray I get from the same place , So I really doubt its them. Unless If they did something else that I am unaware of !!

Interesting! Never heard of, or seen, an entire car get oil sprayed. So, I guess it's possible that may have caused your issue. Hopefully with a quick removal of the sensor, and possibly the door panel, you can find the issues. I think it should be an easy fix.

I have the exact same issue on my 2011 IS250 when going over a bump. Doesn't matter how fast/slow I'm going. I already know the areas on my neighborhood that will make it go off. It's really annoying, but I haven't tried to get it fixed yet and any google searches pop up with nothing.

The fuse popping issue and the others with the warning light seem like different issues. Well, one more advanced than the others.
It sounds like the chassis is deflecting just enough to open the door switch. If these cars have been in the body shop for damage in that area, the doors fit to the car could be a factor. Perhaps adjust the door striker plate in a small amount?
Check the door switch and if the boot is in place maybe build up the contact area on the body where the switch touches. Use some tape and coin for a test?
As for OP's car popping the fuse, I would log on to TIS site and pull up the schematic for that fused circuit. From here look for connections that pass through door pivot points as flex damage could be a factor where the wires are being bent repeatedly. Beyond that I would look at areas having some other repair work done, i.e. door panel off, speaker replaced, a switch replaced.... something like that.
