On my Corolla 2003, the door ajar light stays on even after all doors are closed. How do I fix that without major dealership expenses

Another thing to check, there is quite often a button or swith that the door pushes in when it's closed all the way, a lot of times they are just made of cheap plastic and break off. Locate the switch and check for it to be all in one place.
