Default Door Ajar Light Stuck On

I just got finished washing the car and the light stays on even though the doors are secure =( It used to come on then slowly fade when I would accelerate or take a turn for an hour after I washed the car, but now it just stays on. Any Ideas?

Default Door ajar light

Check the push button switches at the rear edge of the doors. They stick and wear. I have no experience but there are lots of threads. Use the 'search' tab above.
The push buttons can be 'reset' so they close fully with the door.
Good luck.

Has anyone slammed one of your doors hard lately? My passenger slammed it (woman) and broke the sensor. $50, including labor, to replace at the stealership (cheapest thing ever there). Maybe its that, but your water situation may be different.

I'd find the problem sooner than later as your dome lights may stay on one time and kill your battery!!

Mine did the same thing after a hard rain, just unbolt the neg. battery cable. Let it dryout overnoght and it should be fine.
