Guido, which warning bell is sounding when you turn right? Is it the “open door” warning bell? Is there anything that might be preventing any of the doors from closing properly? ---

The "door open indicater on the dashbord is NOT comming on. Last night I noticed that the dome light came on!! This on is going to be weird, I think!! ---

Sounds like a bad door switch that thinks the door is open when the body flexes…try disconnecting one at a time to isolate the bad switch ---

A lot of newer vehicles will turn on interior lights, unlock doors, etc. if the BCM thinks the car has been in an accident. I wonder if this is what is happening here… ---

Makes me wonder how sharp – and how fast - that “sharp right turn” is.
