What happens when you remove both switches, and wires? What happens when you use a jumper wire acros both wires, on both doors?

    Trying to isolate problem area, and make sure one of new switches isn't the problem. With electrical parts, a new defective one is certainly not uncommon. A jumper wire will do same as switch. If you have a continuity tester, that would be easier, or have you already done that?

Car ajar light and alarm goes off on 2005 tribute
Pits one of the five door ajar switches. They are located in the door latch mechanism that holds the door closed. The best way to figure out which one it is is to scan the body control module. With all the doors closed. It will tell you which door is giving the open signal. This will need to be done with a high end scan tool that any good shop or the dealer will have. The most common one to fail is the driver front door.

Dome light won't shut off after truck is off and doors are shut and door ajar light is on while driving but all three doors are shut.
sounds like one of the dome light switches is bad pop them out one by one and disconnect only one at a time until the light goes out or door ajar goes off, then a quick trip to the parts store and you are good to go! :) hope that helps

My interior light and cargo light will not go off, even when my door is shut.
If the door ajar indicator on the cluster is also on, might want to soak the door latch with WD-40.
The door ajar and interior lights are turned on when the door latch is open. Some times the switch gets stuck, and a good soaking of WD-40 will release it. The door latch and the switch for the door are the same unit.

"DOOR AJAR" Light Always On... Even with all doors shut... As a result the dome light is always on and "DOOR AJAR" shows up instead of the electronic speedomter so it can be seen how fast the vehicle is...
spray some lubricant (wd40 etc.) into the lock mechanism on the doors .. the switch may be jamming up ..

The front door entry system contains a latch that is fastened to the inside of the door frame and is controlled by the exterior and interior door handles. The latch contains a door ajar switch and a door lock actuator. The front doors can be locked/unlocked by the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter, the RKE keypad, the door lock control switch or the door lock cylinder .
