door ajar light

over the weekend the "door ajar" light came on and won't go off even though the doors are not "ajar" and the interior lights stay on. Anyone else had a problem like this? If so what's the corrective action? It's a 95 coupe. Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

Yup. The Factory Service Manual (FSM) walks you right through it.

Check online or call your local Chevy dealer. Do you have area Corvette clubs? Some dealers discount if you're a member (or even if you TELL them you're a member of a particular local club.

Locally, they cost about $20. At least they did a few years ago when I purchased mine from Bachman Chevrolet in Louisville. They discount for Falls City Corvette Club members.
