Just started, Interior Lights , Door ajar keeps coming on , when I run over a bump or slitest body twist , door switches seem to be working correctly , maybe a bad ground ?

Nah, it's gonna be the switch. As a test and a temporary fix stick one of those felt pads on the doorjamb at the contact point. I'm referring to the ones you get at the hardware to put on the feet of your furniture.

I agree the switch is need of replacement.Had the same problem when I went into a right hand turn.Quite annoying after it got dark outside.

Have you tried to adjust the switch? There is a small pin inside the larger plunger. Take a small flat-head screw driver, pry it out and close the door. That should readjust it.

Yuppers. It's the door ajar switch. The little nipple on the end eventually weakens to the point it doesn't plunge properly. It can also cause you alarm to go off after the car's turned off and the door locks are set.

I've had that same problem before. Adjusted the plunger, problem solved.

Thanks a lot guys , will try to adjust them if that don't work I will try the felt thing well actually I bought a package of very small clear rubber bumpers at WallMart tonight so one way or the other should fix the problem til I can get some new switches .

Yes some times it is like driving with a strobe light going off in the car !!

OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH! My wife just gave birth to our 1st, and my alarm kept going off in the parking lot. So I just drove it home to trade out cars, and as I was driving home the interior lights would go on and off. I was worried I was looking at a big bill, but this sounds pretty easy.


Can anyone tell me where to buy one of these switches?

When I replaced mine I got them (used) from Redline Corvette Parts in Upland, Ca. However, I can no longer find their eBay store. Both MAD and Eckler's have them though. Just search for Door Ajar Switch.
