DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM DO NOT GO OFF WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. BOTH DOOR SWITCHES HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND REPLACED AT LEAST TWO TIMES BY THE DEALER. PROBLEM USUALLY REOCCURS WITHIN A YEAR FROM REPLACEMENT. MILD HEAT/SUNLIGHT APPEARS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM. ALARMS CONTINUE TO GO OFF FOR 1-10 MINUTES AFTER DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS MAY BE MORE OF AN "ANTI-SAFETY" ISSUE, BUT THE AUDIBLE ALARM IS VERY ANNOYING AND MAKES IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING. *AK
