I Think it may be an electrical problem, but I'm not sure. Every once in a while, the door ajar light lights up on my instrument panel while I'm driving. Usually it happens when accelerating after stopping at red lights or so. It happens about every other day, once or twice. I think it may be electrical because when it started happening, my engine would seem to lose power. At first, it was really bad, to the point where my engine would almost stall right after starting it and the light would come up. I changed all the spark plugs and spark plug cables, and it stopped the engine problem related to it. Now, the light just comes on for about 3 seconds and then goes away. What could be the problem? Any suggestions? I don't believe it's serious, but I would like to get i fixed right away before taking it to an auto shop, where I will most likely be ripped off.

There is a switch in the door opening that you can activate by hand when the door is open, press it the light in your dash should go out, if it seems to work correctly then most likely the wire that is connected to it is shorting out to ground, that will actually make the light come on, or when the door is closed it doesn't press the switch in far enough and when you go through bumps the light comes on and off because the door moves slightly.

Does the dome light come on when you get the door ajar light? If it does, then I would look at the wiring and switches on the doors, they may be getting grounded out. Maybe scraped insulation on the wire.
