Default '02 Taurus SE possible electrical problem

when all doors are closed, dome light and side mirror puddle lamps (lights under both outside mirrors) stay lit.......(disconnected dome bulb and wires on puddle lights, so they wouldnt kill battery)......i have reset relay #1 under driver side to no avail (real pain to take out)......going to try swapping relay #2 with relay #1 to see if it clears......someone mentioned that prob could possibly be in door latch..........can anybody give me any suggestions as to what might be my problem?......thank you in advance

Take a good penetrating oil like PB Blaster. Start with the driver's door and lubricate the latch. Start slamming the door open and clesed repeatedly. Do this too all doors and if you are lucky, you will find the door with the bad door ajar switch.

Change the switch in the latch. Not a fun job, but can be done with regular tools and alot of patience.

Lubrication would definitely help but take it to the service center and get the sensors checked. There could be possible wear and tear in them..
