Door ajar notice will not shut off.
I know it is from the right rear door.
It will stop for a while and then without warning come on again. Cause all sorts of little problems.

The door switch is probably bad. Does the dome light work with this door? If not, replace the door switch.

There are no switches on the door or the frame.
I got info at another source. Spray with silicone at the latch. Problem solved.

I had the similar problem, and fixed it simply. There is a control in all the door latches which controls the door ajar functionality. These controls might have got struck.

Use WD40 in all the door latches deep inside using the thin tube. This will solve your problem. I got WD40 in walmart.

All the best.
