Question 02 Tribute door open light?

Just bought a 2002 Triburte today ,so far I love it.It has 65000 miles on it and runs and drives as good as the new ones I have test driven.
Now I got it home and I can not get the open door light to go out.Thank God I can manualy turn the interior lights off.I did the WD40 trick that work on my 96 Ranger but with no luck.What do I need to do to get this light to go out.

One of your doors isn't latched tightly? Usually it's the hatch glass.

A couple of wraps of black electrical tape around the glass latch works. Tightens everything up a bit and reduces squeeks.

The electrical diagram shows a switch on each latch which supplies a ground connection to the appropriate pins on the GEM when the latch is closed. If it isn't a dirty or out-of-adjustment switch, then the most likely culprit is a broken wire or loose connection to one of the switches. You could try tripping the latches with a screwdriver with the hatch and glass open to see if that fixes it. If it does, then you must have a latch adjustment issue.
