Door switches

I'm not an idiot, but am having troubles finding my door switches on my '03 F350. Lately the switch appears to be sticking as the door ajar light and interior dome light stay on after I close the doors. Where is the switch and will a shot of WD40 help solve this? If not, I may just disconnect them on both doors....

May need more than just a SHOT of WD40. On the door itself, at the latching mechanism, spray liberally with the WD40 all over that latch. Open and close the door several times and warning lamp should go out. I have seen where it takes a day for the oil/ water dispersement (WD40) to penetrate the switch plunger.
Oh yeah, do ALL the doors!
