Another C5 ground problem.
Evening everyone,
Hope you can fast track this repair for me. I just picked up my car from the body shop this evening and I've noticed right away that I have a ground problem.
They had the driver's side door off for the project so i'm guessing that it is the ground that is giving me the problem (symptoms include flashing dash lights, and an alarm system that sounds the alarm as soon as I use the key fob to lock the car). I haven't been into this ground before so my question to you is what do I do to fix/ repair the ground? Do I just pull apart the connections in between the door and the cabin and ensure that the connections are clean and lubed with dielectric grease, or is their more involved?
Thanks as always for your help.

Nice that you got it solved and it didn't take a long time to do so.
