'door ajar light'

[dlrshort]

The door ajar light goes on and off when I go over a bump yet the doors are securely closed. Is this a problem with the connection behind the dash or is it a problem at the door switch?

Is the dash light connection accessable when you take off the side dash panels on the passenger's side of the drive train hump?

Thanks, in advance.....

The door ajar switch is self adjusting. It is possible to over adjust.If you look at the center pin it slides into a sleeve which self adjusts by sliding into the threaded portion. This is usually only set upon installation, but it can slide in too far. If this is the case, what i did is find the proper extension and put crazy glue on the sleeve and let it dry good. This should be a permanent fix. I did mine over 10yrs ago and still works good. rick
