door ajar light wont go off

My door ajar light will not turn off, even while I am driving, the light stays on and there is that constant beeping (like when you have your truck running but open the door). I cannot get it to turn off, and I cannot find where the sensor is. I am sure the door is closed, on both the driver and passenger sides, and my tailgate is closed also. Can you tell me how to fix this, and where the sensor is? It may just be dirty or something and I just need to clean it up, but I have to locate it first. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks.
