Question: Door Ajar Indicator and Interior Lights Keep Coming on When All Doors Are Closed

This just began last week, I don't know why. Or maybe it's been a couple of months because initially my left tail light went out and has been replaced a few times without any success. I had the fuses checked- no blown fuses. Then, last week the door ajar indicator kept coming on and off along with the interior lights. I have no idea what to do about it but I'm hoping it's not going to cost me too much since I'm still paying on the thing. Help, please?

    Often this is a problem with the 'door open/closed' switch. When it wears out, it keeps telling the electrical system that the door is open when it is closed. It is usually the most used door, i.e. the driver's door switch.
