My alarm is going off at intermittent times and I'm seeing a 'passenger door ajar' on my dash.

I understand there is a microswitch in the doorlatch, but when I look up for a part to replace it, I'm only seeing the lock actuator or lock module, both of which are $300. Is there a switch (for less) than I can buy and replace in the door that will stop the error messages?

Thank you.

You have to replace the latch assembly, the microswitch is internal. Try sprying the latch assembly with a lubricant and opening and closing the door a few times to free off the switch
