those &^%$# door lights

[billsfanmd@xxxx]

I have the most frustrating door lights of all time.....I can sit there a 
million times and push the little door light/door ajar button and the lights 
go out instantly. As soon as I close the door, the lights stay on!!!!!....Is 
this magic? Obviously the door closing shut is not pushing that little knob 
at all or maybe somehting is shorting somewhere...

I have the rubber tip on it and it is secured correctly on the side of 
dash.....My door closes perfectly. I know these lights staying on is a common 
problem and a major source of battery drain. When I drive, the red door ajar 
light blinks intermittently just to remind me the problem is there :-) I 
have now just unhooked the electricity to that switch until I find a 
solution. I hate worrying every time I close the door that the lights are 
going out and I'll have a dead battery after a few days...solutions?....Are 
there better door switches out there?.....
