Trying to correct previous modifications

[Countryboy276]

Hello all,
I need some help figuring out how to correct some modifications made by the previous owner of my x. When I open the driver's side door the courtesy light does not come on, neither does the little ding, ding, ding when the lights are left on or the key is in the ignition.

While installing another mirror in the driver's door, I looked checked where the door ajar switch should be according too some other threads. It appears that the switch was removed. I found the wire connection for the door ajar switch dangling in the door well and it looks like someone installed a different bolt into door actuator, which is in a location that I could see the door ajar switch working.

What do I need to do to install a new switch? Would the door ajar switch being missing cause the dinger to not work when the lights are on or the key is in the ignition?

I work appreciate any insight anyone can give me.

Thanks
David
