My DOOR AJAR light stays on. I have checked all doors, nothing left open. It leaves my interior lights on, as well as, the lights under side mirrors. I am not sure if this is a sensor issue???

USE WD40 and spray door latch
door switch located inside on the side of the door latch and known to get stuck
most of the time if sprayed with WD40 will loosen up and work again
spray the latch close and open the door few times
spray all door latches

or have it scanned as it will show which switch is open
good luck
