Actually, your symptoms of the door ajar etc. with movement in the seat...

...is the dreaded fuse 14 issue, but easily solved by just disconnecting the rear footwell light. Move your seat up so you can reach underneath the seat for the harnesses, and disconnect the small black two-wire connector under there. Should eliminate that problem.

The issue is the wiring inside the seat over time gets frayed and rubs on some metal innards. So no more shorting that circuit by disconnecting the footwell light. Give it a try.

Search fuse 14 for more info in either this forum, allroad forum, or over in AudiWorld's forums.
