dome light switch.

When the passenger door is opened and then closed, the "door ajar" indicator on the dash, and the cargo light both stay lit for a couple of minutes after the door is shut. I've verified that the door is shut correctly. I'm assuming that this glitch is why the bulb in the dome light itself is missing. I don't see the typical push button switch in the door jamb. Anybody know where this switch is hidden? TIA.

Take some good cleaner and spray in the door latch, then use some type of good lubricant and spray in there also. Close the door two or three times and it will work. The switches get dirty and stick, I have to do mine about every year or two.
