What owners wrote
The door ajar light came on and warning buzzer sounded and dome light came on too. After days of replacing parts in the door and lube added to the latches in both the main door and small door the small door latch will not stay latched !! Keeping the dome light on and the door ajar on in the dash. It's not the light switch that's not working it testes good and nothing wrong with it.
