    Default drivers door ajar warning.

    Evening everyone? How are we all? Gradually going through my too do list for the car, thankfully its not a big list lol. When I got the car the interior light worked when you opened the drivers door, gradually it became more erratic and now appears to have stopped working altogether. Looking at the door it appears the ajar switch is built into the latch. I haven't had the time recently to strip the door down but am guessing either latch or a break in the wiring into the door. Have tried the wiggle test but didn't improve it. My question I suppose is; is this a common failure and what is it likely to be latch or wiring? Any suggestions?

    There are contacts in the switch ..strip it down clean and reassemble and relube if nessesary..if there is a break in the connection there you can sort that at the time..good luck..
