    The dealer found the problem. Connection was loose at the computer. So where are these computer cable connections? Under the dashboard?
    Under the hood? I don not see any near the door except a wire harness roll

    No..all under warranty. Maybe someone messed with cable during service.

    that's good. any idea how long it took? if it's under the hood, it should be quick. inside the dash is usually time consuming.

    I was in and out in 10 minutes. Dealer probably has a computer or tool that can check where the electric connectivity stops from both sides of the sensor handle to computer terminal

    I didn’t even know my car did this! It’s like finding $20 in an old pair of pants.
