    Blast some WD-40 into the door latches, sometimes that frees up a sticky switch, before you yank the door panels.

    I tried it earlier. No go. I'm taking it apart tomorrow. I hope the door I suspect is it. I HATE taking off door panels.

    I went to change out the switch today, but you can't get to it without removing the latch. I got the screws holding the latch out, but can't get it out because of the rod that attaches to it. Not sure what to do. I'm thinking I have to drill out the rivets holding the door handle mechanism that the rod attaches to from the latch.

    Does anyone know the procedure?

    There should be a clip that holds the rod(s) on to the latch.

    It's a Z bend so it has to be rotated.

    There's no idiot light on the dash for an open door. I'm trying to remember. Is there a chime when you are driving and a door is open?

    Better yet. Those clips used to break. $0.35 part, an hour of labor to replace it.

    There is a chime for engine off, key in ignition, and driver door ajar. At the very least you should be able to rule the driver door out as the culprit.
