Any clue what cld be causing this? I've read on here about the door ajar switch and how to fix that and wd-40 doesnt work so i'll have to replace it. But the Power locks dont work and neither does the power mirror. Wires have continuity down to the running board, i havent checked them further back.

Drivers seat module control this?

Thanks for any help

Did you WD40 all of the latches (6 total)? Of course any door latch being stuck will trip that door ajar light.
 






Yes I did. My alarm wont set so I can check it by opening doors individually though. So I'll address the ajar light last.
 






Check the wire bundle between the driver door and A pillar. Pull rubber boot from where it seats in the pillar and slide the boot down the wire bundle into the door (remove door panel for easy access). In the wire bundle, look for a broken black wire, one of the two large ones. If you find it splice it back together, leaving a little extra slack in the wire by splicing in a 2" +/- piece of wire of the same gage (and color). I understand it's a common problem. That's how I fixed mine which had similar symptons as yours. Easy fix. Good luck.
