Door switch question

This may seem like a dumb question, but where is the door switch on the SD trucks. I had a problem with the interior lights not coming on when the door was opened and the radio staying on when the door was opened and the key was off. This happened after we got a lot of rain for us, ( 6" in two days 17" since November) and thought the door switch was stuck. I went looking for it but couldn't find it. I never even thought about the switch until now.

It's mounted on the latch on the inside of the door. Try spraying some wd40 in and around your latches. This usually solves the problem.

Yup, I concur with Barry...WD40 has done the trick for me in the past.

Yep, I kept getting the "Door Open" light until I sprayed mine down. No problem for a year now...
