Hi-
I have a 2000 Passat. It seems to think the driver's door isn't fully closed. The same beep you get when the seatbelt isn't fastened continues after all the doors are locked, and the interior lights stay on. There's no indication on the dash that there's a problem. I tried re-closing all the doors and the trunk, and finally turned off the rear interior lights manually. However, the light on the bottom of the driver door remains on. The beeping stops after I've been driving for a few minutes, but I've been out of the car for at least an hour now and the driver door light is still on. I can see it through the passenger side window.
Does anyone know what would cause this, and if there's anything I can do about it myself right now, like remove a fuse? There's nothing blocking the door, and nothing indicates it isn't fully closed except the light. I can't take it in for service immediately, but I'm concerned that the battery is being drained.
This just started this morning. Thanks much for any help you can offer.
