4 litre petrol 1998 dash message saying rear right hand door open it isnt. But it is stopping the suspension from operating and it has also put all interior lights on. Don't know where the door switch is can anyone help?
 
As the others have said - but if it still comes up then its probably an issue in the latch. It could be that when it was frozen shut, and then subsequently opened (even after a bit of thawing) that one of the plastic components inside has gone snap and not operating the microswitch - or maybe the microswitch has failed.

The rear doors only have the one microswitch, which on later models are a blue and black wire coming from the latch. As a temporary measure, if these are connected together, then it will make the vehicle think the door is closed - permanently. Which might be OK as a temporary fix, but be aware that opening that door would then not trigger the internal lights, inhibit the EAS, or trigger the alarm if that door is broken into, as the vehicle wouldn't detect the door being opened.
