"Open Door" Idiot Light

[Gillman]

Has anyone here had their red "door open" light stay "on" and therefore, your map lights & over-head light courtesy lights stay "on" as well...?
For no apparent reason (yes, I checked all of the cabin doors) this started today and I haven't found out what causes it to finally go "off", but it's really annoying...!
Let me know what to trouble-shoot or check if you think of something.
Thanks!

Just had this happen to me recently. Spray some penetrating oil (PB Blaster, WD-40, etc) into the door where it latches. Do it to all your doors. IIRC the switch is in there and gets cruded up. I believe there is a writeup on this at v8sho.com. Hope this helps!

Chris,
Thanks for the quick advice. I blasted that area this morning with some WD-40, let it sit for awhile and when I got ready to go.... no idiot light...!
I knew someone here would have the answer!
Thanks!
