Im 100% sure you could,people add them all the time for aftermarket alarms and such and being the wire is there all you have to do is re-route it...I have the same issue with my rear hatch as the other guy does,it drives me insane!! Im going to take this one apart and fix it and if this happens anyone more,even 1 more time,im going to remove them all and replace them with a normal door trigger switch...I dont care if they are only $6 its a PIA to do each one and its going to happen again...Im going to invent a plug and play set-up for this issue one day and be rich....My mechanic tore apart this 2001 Windstar I just bought to re-sell and he screwed with it for some time and then he filed down the trigger some and all is good now...Its a Dumb idea and its as common as a cold!
