Quick Question
I have never seen my door adjar light on before, until yesterday. The switch on the drivers door does not pop out. It stays in. The hood was up does that have anything to do with the door adjar light being on. I do not know why all of a sudden the light works. It won't go out until I turn off the car. No big deal just would like to go off.

depending on your year, this is probably what you need.

My door ajar light was coming on intermittently the other day then it stayed on. Turned out to be the drivers door switch, so took it out and cleaned it up, removed some corrosion on the contacts with a little sandpaper. works like a treat now.
shouldn't have anything to do with the bonnet being up, should only come on when your ignition is on start I think, or at least when the engine is turned on and the door is either open of not fully closed. You may need a new one as mentioned above, but depending how bad it is you may be able to save it if you can clean out the dirt or corrosion. if the spring inside is gone though you will need a knew one.

On the other hand, just get a new one anyway if it only costs a small amount, I tend to try and recondition most stuff here as it costs an arm and leg to buy and ship over to Australia.
