try spraying some WD40 or other lube on the door latches. Also there is a rubber accordian type hose that goes from the truck to the door. you can see it with the door open. your switch is inside there. move that hose around and make sure it is properly positioned. its some kind of pressure switch I think, so if it gets out of allignment it does not switch. any way I had a similar issue on my 97. but start with the WD40 first...hope this helps.
