Try hitting the driver door latch with some WD-40, maybe the switch is stuck.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not being smart or anything, but you didn't accidentally leave the dome light switch in the on position. I know, but it's an easy thing to check before ripping things apart.

Never mind. That would not explain the door open light. Duh

I agree with Cookie and hit your door lock assembly with some WD40. I would go ahead and spray all of them because I have had one of my rear doors get stuck before. If this don’t work you are going to have to pull your lock assembly’s out of your doors and check the switches with a DVM for continuity when the latch is in the closed position, if it showing an open you may want to try cleaning it with some electrical cleaner and then spray some more WD40. If this does not work you may just have to replace it like I had too. By the way I would start with the driver door since that is the one that is most used.

Yep - I had to do the WD-40 trick on my truck, and about 4 others - and it has been working fine ever since. The only exception is my foreman's work truck - which he has to hit it with WD-40 every week or 2 to keep the lights off. With the truck always out on the job site - the lube must attract dust and make the switches gum up right away again.
