first started with passenger door ajar and interior lights kicking on when driving. Then the passenger mirror took on a life of it's own. Now there is a clicking noise in the rear cabin. Like a sensor is not seeing home position. please help stop the bleeding.

agree to disagree on this i guess, i can see it comming.
i feel this issue is a bad ground since thats what all the things to describe are using to send signals to the differant areas on the vehicle.
check the chassis ground and for grounds at the BCM and the Ground dist. areas.
anything over 0 Ohms i would suspect, with a walmart meter with 10K Ohm scale

You never what to use the ohm scale on a meter to test grounds :banghead:
this is a static test and tells you nothing.
To test a ground, you what to perform a volt drop tests. This is a dynamic test and is more accurate. Anything over .2volts and I would say you have a bad ground.
Sounds like possibly a Body Control Module concern

If the concern is mainly isolated to one door, I'd check the connection between the hinges in the door jamb on that door.

Well folks thats my cue.
GL with your TB's. as i will not be returning.
Merlin, you ever heard the saying:
"I would rather keep my mouth closed and be thought an idiot, than to open it and prove it"?
you may want to check procedures for locating a ground problem or a power feed loss. 50% of all systems on vehicles use ground as the actuator/signal feed for BCM PCM modules. voltages on most systems vary from moment to moment a large amount, but one thing always remains the same: GROUNDS NEED 0 OHMS TO BE GROUNDS and if they have resitance on a DC system you will GAIN amperage until the electromotive force is suficent to power said system (causing voltage drops).
Hey, i have an orange, i want to peel it, im going to use a knife, your going to use a peeling machine cause it says so in a book. ill bet i peel that orange first.
There goes another 15 mins of my life ill never have back.
