The door switch on a B3000 is actuallt in the door latch assembly, so in order to get it out you would have to remove the door panel to get at it.

Once there you will find a wiring connector that has to be removed and then you will have to rotate the switch one way or the other to remove it. YOu might be able to clean it so it works, but probably not.

Suggested Repair

The door switch is built into the door latch assembly. Remove the door panel, disconnect the wiring connector, and rotate the switch to remove it. Cleaning may restore operation, but replacement is more likely needed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2001 Mazda B3000 asked where the door switch is because the door-ajar warning and dome light stay on. A Mazda technician explained that the switch is inside the door latch assembly and is reached by removing the door panel, unplugging the connector, and rotating the switch out. Cleaning might help, but it probably will not.
