How do you clean the door sensor in a vehicle so that the door ajar light goes off?

Even when the doors are shut tight the light says door ajar and the dome light stays on. I have to remove the lights so that my battery does not wear down. It happens randomly and is a pain. Thanks for the help!

    You most likely have a bad door switch. Remove or disconnect them one at a time and when the light goes out that,s your bad switch.

    first find out which door it is and just unplug the sensor or replace it - cleaning it does not solve the problem... and there should be a switch or a wheel that will manually shut those lights off so you dont have to unplug the bulbs

    Spray some WD-40 or something like it on the latch mechanism on the door. That should fix the problem.
