Disconnect the door ajar wiring on each door one by one and see if it goes out. Then fix the problem.

Definitely spray all the door latches like schlep said. easy fix. Just keep the door latches lubricated. I spray them about once a year.

If your door ajor light is staying on while the dome light is on, then the wd-40 should work. If the dash light is not on, turn the dome light wheel down and make sure it is not in the up position.
