The AU throwing hissy fits again!!

[FRDGAL]

1) Got in the car today and I could hear a ticking noise, sounded like my indicator was on but it wasn't. So I checked outside to see if an indicator was infact on but it wasn't - it was the brakes and headlights that were flashing. I started the car and even with the car on, it was still ticking and flashing (like an undercover cop car lol) Ok so locked it then unlocked it with the remote and it's fine. (A bit of history though - when my interior light was removed to fit a screen, the alarm would play up and once in a while it would set itself off and I was told it would because the light was missing. But I just had the screen removed, an AU2 premium stereo installed and the interior light put back in) But, it's never done this before as in, not the ticking sound inside and especially not continuing to do so once the car has started.

2) The back door (on the drivers side) would not open from the outside. I had to open it from the inside and then it was fine. But I didn't have problems with it all day until this afternoon. I can hear a strange noise on the drivers side when I lock the car with the remote.

3) If you can smell a huge amount of fuel on start-up and see a big cloud of mist, what does that mean? It's running rich??

Any ideas on what's going on? If anyone knows what's going on with the door, would you know if this is an expensive thing to have fixed?

Oh by the way, for anyone who's had an issue with the (orange trip section) of the dash fading or half fading - I was just about ready to send mine off for a replacement but try what we did. Lightly smack the top of the dash where the fading is. It turned out mine was just the globe and it's now back to normal. So just incase anyone's unit has faded/half faded, give that a try. It might work. It happen to mine on a very hot day during summer so I just assumed it had faded but well, there you go lol.
