The Yellow and Brown wires are connected together and then connect to the wire that feeds the Low Beam Headlights +12V when the lights are switched on. I think this wire also provides the ground (through the headlight filaments) when the headlight switch is off.

Bob, what do you have the module's Yellow and Brown wires to connected to on your car?
The yellow and brown wires are connected to each other and to the common side of the headlight dimmer switch (where the 12v from the headlight switch connects).

If you turn the headlights off (and the doors don't close) try grounding this wire. If the doors then close, you just need a better ground for the module to sense. You may try putting a resistor at this point on the controller box, tied to ground. Try a 1Kohm, 1W resistor.
