possible sensor is out or somethnig worst a broken seal. PMDG did confirm that these failures were possible. consult the QRH and determine if you want to continue the flight :D

They go out by themselves usually, so i don't think its a problem like that cuz they wouldn't extinguish if the problem continued.

well dude all i can say is RTFM you came on asking us for help i gave you the two logical reasons why you would recv those errors. The wing exist are never really opened unless there is an emergency. so it is either a broken seal. or a bad sensor!do you have service based failures on?also PMDG confirmed a while back that Sensor errors produce the behavior you are seeing (briefly flashing then going out again)

read the intro manual under "quirks", you'll see that it also can be caused by a "slow latching mechanism", it usually goes out just after takeoff

That's a return to blocks mate. LOL.gif Hope you didn't choose to carry on. Ashley Frew. PS. The above comment is just light humour. I don't give out technical advice.

Very easy to clear. During taxi find a spot out of the flow of traffic, set brakes, bring the power up to around 50 to 60% N1, lights should go out, return power to idle, continue with taxi. This will force the seals to inflate and better align the doors and their proximity sensors.......I guess..I've had it on two flights now and was able to clear it both times doing this.

I've had this intermittently for a while and assumed it was just a 737 quirk when not pressurized.
