"door ajar" switch......where lube?

I have 2 related problems........my "door ajar" warning lite stays on..........and my dome lite sometimes stays on.

I know people in this group have had success with lubing the switches.

I've looked and looked, and I cannot see where to direct a spray of contact cleaner or WD40.

I'm looking in the area of the latch on the door. Right place? or wrong place?

VERY specifically, where do I direct my spray? Up, down......my left, my right?

I s the switch that I wanna spray located somewhere other than at the door latch?

Does the same switch control both the warning message, and the dome lite?

Spray as well as you can DOWN into the latching mechanism. The switch is in the latch. Yes, the same switch controls both.
