2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Orkney Grey

Red door light stays on sometimes.

This has happened twice so far. I can't find anything in the manual to explain.

The red 'door open' light stays on after closing all the doors and starting the ignition. I first thought I'd left a door open or might have a faulty door switch.
However, if I lock the doors using the keyfob, then open again, the light goes out as it should. No need to touch any of the doors, I just sit in the drivers seat.

Is this a battery warning thing or an alarm warning? If not, what else could it be?

What model truck do you have?

I think you're referring to the immobiliser/alarm light, I don't think there is a door open light on the dashboard TD5 hardtop to Puma inspired Poptop - my build thread

Regardless of model begin by taking a look at the door switches for corrosion.

If it was the door switch, why would locking, then unlocking make the light go out? I don't need to touch any of the doors!

It is the immobiliser/alarm light - it also comes on when doors are open.
It's a 2015 110 XS SW.

It'll be the battery in the fob!

A door switch fault would mean the interior lights don't behave.

Thanks for that. Fortunately, I have the spare keys with me! It first showed when I was in the back of beyond on Hoy. No mobile signal and a long way down a barely used track.
