I too have the same problem, but None of my warning lights come on.. I was reading that to identify the problem, you can pull a few fuses each night ad try to narrow down the draw that way.. the only problem with this is that if the draw is before the fusebox.. it wont work.. I will try this as soon as I start daily driving my hatch again.. but in the mean time I hope this helps =]

The switch on the door jamb that tells the car that the door is closed.

there was a shop here in vancouver wa.they where pretty cheap too.if you can find a shop you can trust.tell them you want a 2 hour limit on diagnosing the problem.or what ever limit you can afford.
