been a bit of a tt and allowed someone loose with a pressure hose on my 350.Upshot is the passenger door now has a mind of its own.It will close occasionally..then few minutes later opens, so had to strp the door shut to get home.Not sure if this has come up before on the forum, but any ideas?..or will it all just 'dry up'?.it stays shut after i've locked the car if thats any help!
thanks in advnce

Probably got water in the passenger door ecu.

It lives in the passenger footwell and is a black box about 6 inch by 4 inch with a connector on top with lots of pins.

Take it out and dry it.

Water usually gets in under the windscreen so worth sealing it if it's leaked.

Black door control box behind carpet in footwell passenger side check for water at plug/socket-dry and clean pins use some contact grease see if that works theres one in drivers footwell too.
They are both fixed with velcro easy check.
