The rear left door "door ajar" indicator would show that the door was open, even when slammed shut. At first i had to slam the door harder, but after a while even that didn't work. When that didn't work, it became an issue because my interior lights wouldn't go off after leaving the car. I had to break the part to get my lights to go off so i didn't drain my battery overnight.
