A quirk I can't figure out
And it's a bad one, my drivers side door won't close, every time I try it doesn't even latch, it just swings open, there doesn't seem to be anything triggering it, I've tried opening/closing/switching on/off everything, even rolling starts to see if it's a fast slow thing, but it's just open no matter what and won't close. I did solve 3-4 other quirks fairly easily but this one seems to have no cause (it's always active) and even selecting door opening (there's no door stuck open option) for the effect still shows 0/4 correct! Is this just a bugged quirk my car has from now on?

This is the fix. I had all the same symptoms. Just now I tapped it into the doorframe while leaving the garage. Door shut, and now it works normally.

The real tell for this bug(?) is that the diagnostic station *always gives an entry when you have a real quirk*. You can press [E] to see the list of "fixes", which is really just a list of quirks. Even undiagnosed quirks show here as "undiagnosed". I had nothing in this list, but I had the door issue.

I'll be curious to see if anyone's figured this one out, I had it in the demo and it was annoying as hell but also seemingly went away on its own after a while so there must be some really opaque trigger for it.

yeah, all the others I had had reasons and you could test for them, like my passenger door would open every time i switched into park, etc. The really bizarre part is I can't even get the EFFECT side of the thing right, it doesn't seem to be "door opens" on the drivers door (or the any option), none of the effects for the doors are correct, i've tried them all just to be sure. I'm wondering if there's a 4th option for "door stuck" they added that's not showing (similar to how there's a stuck option for wipers), like maybe the devs forgot to add it to the menu.

Funnily you CAN close the door from the outside by walking into it but when you open it again to get in the car it gets stuck open again, so not really useful.

@raptor85 If you can't get the door to close, I got out and removed the door and then put it back and it solved the problem.

done that, it installs closed of course, but the second i open it it's permanently open again and can't be closed

I went one step further and swapped the door with another of the doors and it STILL wouldn't close. It's a real nasty quirk lol.

yeah, i've just been playing without a door using the 8 guesses every time i get back to the garage (bring extra medkits O_x), 0/4 every time, i've tried just about everything so i should have gotten at least 1 right so I could narrow it down, i'm thinking it's just literally not on the menu.

Just out of curiosity, did you try: Front left door - closed - Front left door - opens? (didnt got tinker station yet, just curious)

i wont deny, i had a quirk i couldnt figure out, i wont deny i did the "save scum move" to figure it out by doing process of elimination on the station, turns out my last quirk was wipers turned on = headlights become brighters.

But you already got the 2nd part, front left door opens. just gotta figure out the first

I DONT have the second part though, I've tried front left door opens and it shows as 0/4 correct, for whatever reason my door being stuck open doesn't count as "front left door opens". I've tried every possibility now, even completely unrelated stuff, and nothing has even shown a 1/4, solved other quirks as well, whatever this is is literally not on the list or it's actually just a persistent bug and not even a quirk.

I managed to get some lead plating so at least I'm not taking as much radiation damage while driving around without a door now, popping med kits while driving, lol (I took it off, figured it's better than it hanging open being constantly damaged for no reason.)

first thing I tried when it happened, figured that's what it would have been but nope, 0/4

so after like a dozen trips trying the door again from time to time it just...cleared itself, same door, same everything and it closes now....

I face a similar problem and am also confused by all this. My trunk refuses to close, but for the tinker station I have confirmed 2/4 right. Third choice: your problem door. Fourth choice: opens. And yeah, wish just replacing the door would work.

Hopefully this might help. When I was testing this I realized I had the sequence reversed.

For instance, each time I closed the trunk the front right hand door would open. So I entered "front door - is opened - trunk - closes" WRONG!

It was, in fact, "trunk - is closed - front door - opens"

So: Trigger comes before effect!

Which makes more sense to me now and I'm wondering why I had it backwards in the first place.

nah, i had it in the right order, i'd already cleared like 4-5 quirks by the time this one popped up. I tested every possibility, burnt all my tries every time back to the garage, whatever it was was NOT on the list, so not sure if it was just bugged and couldn't be diagnosed or an oversight and there's missing options in the diagnosis. (it seems like nobody has solved this specific quirk ever when it's come up). I ended up just rolling without a door and making the lead lined jacket upgrade so I don't die as fast but after around a dozen trips it was just....gone, the door started closing when i tried it.

My car has two quirks and I can't even figure out what they are, I see nothing wrong...
