Spray door latch mechanism with WD-40 or equivalent. The door ajar sensor is in door latch.

you won't like it but machette to the door wiring seems to take care of those problems for me :-) (But then I loose the use of my neeto power windows also:-(
Truthfully, you will have to get someone to remove the door latch and replace the door ajar switch that attaches to the latch..WD40 works for a few days usually until it sticks again and boom back to same problem
also make sure all of the doors are closing properly... sometimes the back glass doesn't close right and will cause the same problem..bringing it to a dealer will tell you which door it is

did you try shutting the ajar door? if all else fails, i recommend using a hammer
