My driver door sensor for my Toyota Camry isn t going off when closed?

Pretty much when i close my driver door the open door light stays on, if i pull the door from inside while its closed the light goes off, so i don t think its the sensor, I think it might be the piece on the actual door that is supposed to push in the spring sensor isnt doing its job. i dont know what its called.

The worst part is that this often times causes my car alarm to go off when i walk off, sometimes a while after.

I just need some thoughts or advice from an experienced mechanic. i dont know what else it could be.

    Adjust the door latch in the drivers door opening in father so that the door is flush with the body when closed. That will put more pressure on the door jam switch and turn the light off.

    There actually isn't a sensor as such. There is a push button switch much like the one that controls the light in your refrigerator. It sounds like the switch is either loose, or going bad.

    You can loosen the door latch that the door hooks onto and move it towards the car interior. Retighten. This will tighten the door thus outening the light.
