    door lock - help please!!!!

    Hi,
    Need some help, pretty urgently.
    Today I made a very amateur mistake, and I should've know better.
    Recently I keep getting an error message saying that my drivers door is open, when its not. I had tried adjusting it a little, and gave it a good spray, but it continued to throw the message. Well today I thought I would have a look, I decided to see if I could find were the problem was coming from, and against my better judgement of just disconnecting the switch, I thought it would be nice to get it working.
    Well out came the driver door lock, and i opened it up to see what I could find..... NOTHING, nothing excessively worn, and no obvious fault.
    I saw a few little micro switches inside, and gave them a press, on one of them, the motor started and spun the gears, I put it back together, and now it thinks my passenger door is open, and my central locking is playing up.
    Please any suggestions, or is there a way to set the gears up?

    In a couple of cases where "things" seems to have gone awry... I have disconnected BOTH leads from the starting battery for a couple of minutes, reconnected ...positive lead first!.. then let it settle. You may need to insert the key in the door and press the button to resync. ...then see what happens... sometimes it's OK other times I need to keep looking.

    I do not have a working fob, and the alarm is turned off.
    I had thought about the sync, but think that's just to get the fob working.
    I've cut the wire now, think I'll cut the passenger side one too.
    It really is ashame that they suffer so much from the electrics.
    Today is the first time I've felt so down heartened with it.

    The best thing to do is replace the lock with a good second hand one of ebay or better still if you have the money to fork out put a new one in . All these problems with the locks are to do with the micro switches in them.
