door ajar light concern

Hows it going. I had a concern especially when cold outside. Ocassionally the door ajar light illuminates when going over bumps or turning, more like flashes and the module/ relay buzzes. No chime goes off so i dont think the drivers door is the culprit. I do know that going on the interstate it sounds like a wind tunnel and even with the slider closed i can see the outside at the top closest to the rear side window(non sliding window behind sliding door). Please help me its been irritating and we want to fix it right not hack meaning not just unpluging things just to squeak by

From your description, Odds are it is your sliding door causing this issue. Over time the roller wears down and affects the alignment so the contacts are not contacting fully. Also the contacts corrode and wear down over time. Check the ones on the door side and the b-pillar.

There is a write up on how to replace the bottom roller with a bearing that will solve the issue of alignment.

Don't know what kind of switch is used here, though generally they get crudded up. (If it's not the sliders or misalignment) I'd try some electrical contact cleaner or WD-40.
