Default Door Ajar light flickers

The door ajar light flickers from time to time, especially when the road is bumpy. Sometimes is stays on, and then sometimes it doesn't come on at all. Suggestions?

Thanks
Robin

I would try shooting some WD-40 on the switche(s) & exercise them. If that doesn't help it's time to change them out.

Also pull out the self adjustment tab on the switch. You may just need to take up the slop.

^^^ ? self adjusting ****? I looked at mine and didn't see anything. Mine was doing the same thing, after messing with it for a hour i sad F it, and taped a washer with electrical tape where the **** make contact with the body. Wouldnt mind finding the real fix. Maybe we just need to replace the switch?

On the head of the "door agar" switch that's located on the door there is what appears to be a "button". Put your finger nail under that button and pull it out about 1/4 inch. Close the door, the button will set itself to the proper length.

On mine, I pulled out the self adjuster and slid on a couple of #60 o-rings. That fixed the ajar light flashing on/off.
