I'm guessing door switch. Does the "door ajar" light up when engine is running with the door open? If it does light up, there is an open somewhere else.

I agree with TchTchr. It's either a door switch, or a GEM module.

The switch is somehow on the latch. Try spraying the latch real good with wd-40. I have read that sometimes fixes problems with door switches.
