My "door ajar" signal won't turn off for my drivers door. I have bought three new batteries and been stranded three times due to power drain when lights and sound system would not shut down due to this issue. In addition to money and time, it is a safety issue because the doors won't lock while driving and the interior light remain on while driving.

Door ajar indicator sensor fails. Despite the drivers door being fully closed the indicator pops up on screen. Dome lights stays on, and doors remain unlocked. Did find out it's not how hard you close the door. It seems to be the number of time which is random.
