Door Ajar-NOT!!

Well I finally got the dreaded door ajar-interior lights stay on. I know it's the switch on the latch so I head out with Lectra-Kleen and WD40. But which of the 5 doors is it? I am sitting in the truck while it's running and I open the driver's door to exit and what do I hear? BEEEP. AHH, in a flash of brilliance I go to the drivers rear door, open it, and BEEEP. Cool! Liftgate-BEEEP, passenger front-BEEEP, only one left, Passenger rear-NO BEEEP. Gotcha! Thought this might help lower the frustration level for the rest of you....

Looks like I stumped you!!
I've only been able to lurk around, working OT every day and Sat. too. Plus the kids won't let me on the PC.

Start with the drivers door, it's used the most.

Dogman, that was my first choice but when I opened all the doors with engine running the only one that didn't beep was the pass rear. I loosened the screws and jiggled the latch and the int lites flicker and "door ajar" lite goes out. That's the one to fix. Thanks..
