realllly dont want to replace the latch and harness...

my door ajar light is stuck on even tho the latch and everything is closed, if i take the door panel off and pull on the wires it will go off but i dont see anywhere where it could shorting out or grounding out

my question is, is there a wire i can cut to make the light go off or at least the annoying 'ding' everytime i stop and go or any other tricks? i dont feel like spening the money on a new latch cause im saving for tow mirrors

any help would be great

Did you look behind all the door panels? Because cutting the wire won't help, that'll just keep it on. More then likely there is a bad ground or snipped wire somewhere in there. Check them all and see. If that's not it then your latch may just be jamming up or something. If so, just spray some WD-40 on it and see if that does the trick.

Scratch that the rear didn't work. Does anyone know what wire to cut in the rear? I'm assuming you can do the same as the front just don't know which wire if any
