Default Door Ajar Light stays on

Here's the problems: My door ajar light stays on (even with doors closed). My rear interior light stays on after shutting truck off. Front interior light is out totally (i need a new bulb i believe), but with a new bulb, i assume tit would stay on also. This all started yesterday. I pulled out the #27 fuse so I wouldn't drain my battery last night. I tried to find the door sensors and the rear hatch sensor to see if any were stuck, but couldn't find any push buttons or anything like that. Any Ideas? Appreciate any responses...Joe

The door latch and interior light contacts are incorperated together. Spray the door latches with silicone pray and open and close the several times. The interior light contacts tend to hang up. May take a couple of goo sprays with silicone. I use silicone on these as lithium spray grease will attract dust and gum the contacts.
