Rear door open warning and slam locks

Hi, my new to me 2018 crafter has slam locks fitted, which are a stipulation on my insurance - so I’m happy with them!

However they have disconnected the wiring loom to the lock and I have a permanent doors open warning which is annoying as I can’t get off the screen.

I tried plugging it back in but the central locking interferes with the slam locks, probably why they unplugged it!

Any ideas how to trick it into thinking the doors are always closed?
 
As a finish to this I stripped everything down today and took the lock mechanism out.

It is possible to have the slam lock and central locking working together - which I now have!

My issue was the cable that connected the main lock body to the handle (or in my case slam lock) wasn’t re-engaging the lock system, it’s almost as if the cable wasn’t long enough.
A lot of fitting and adjusting and it’s all now working, central locking plugged back in and dash warning off.

Annoyingly the only way to adjust the lock is to remove the mechanism from the door by unbolting the x3 t30 bolts
