I got a viper 771 put in today and the installer said that the door sensor for the driver side was not working (but was on the passenger side) and told me that if someone managed to open the driver side door and opened it gently enough the alarm would not go off.

Is there an easy way to fix the sensor that is in the door frame?

He also said there were no blown fuses, first thing he checked...

 

That's extremely common. That's why I collected a bunch of door pins from 88-91 Civics and 90-93 Integras and keep them on top of my tool box. SOMETIMES you can brush all the rust off and get some good contact, but most of the time you just have to get a new one.

 

Get a new one, it will be more reliable, I would probably replace the pass. one also, just to be safe. 94

that little plastic piece that slides in and out when the door is opened and closed?

 

It's easy to replace. Each door pin is held in place by a single screw.

 

Sos pad or wire brush and some wd 40. It willworka wonder.
