    Turn ignition to run position, you don't need to start. This turns off the dome lamp delay. Roll up all windows to prevent any spray from getting on glass. Use silicon spray (wet type) or a spray lubricant with graphite. Spray door latches one at a time, close and open the door 10 - 20 times, if lamp goes out just lube latches more often than you have been. If dome lamp stays on after all doors have been lubed take to a dealer. They can monitor each door with the scanner to determine what door shows ajar and replace that door ajar switch.
