Where can I find the automatic door switch for the interior and the door locks. I think I have one sticking and thr doors do not lock automatically, the way they use to. Also the door open light on the dashboard stay's on. Can I lubricate the switch somehow?

Welcome, as far as the door locks, I'd have to start by checking the circuits at the door lock relays.

Terminals 86 and 87 is voltage to relay. Terminal 85 is ground. When the relay is energized, the arm moves from terminal 87A to 87, then there is continuity between 87 and 30. Terminal 30 carries voltage to whatever the relay controls. Also, you may need to check manufacturer specific codes. The code may point to something, if there is one?
