Door Ajar Warning Lamp

Does anyone know how to get the Door Ajar Lamp to go off when all doors are closed? Is there a switch in the door somewhere that needs replaced? Or is there a fuse or relay that has gone bad? This is a 1997 F-150.

Check one door at a time. Could be a switch that is being moved enough to allow the dome light to go out but not the door ajar light. try each one and press it by hand to see if it goes out.
