I would say open the trunk and slam it down hard. See if light goes out. X-Type door ajar light 99% of time cause by the trunk latch.

the hood spring switch relies on a pad that goes on the hood (driver side).. size of a quarter (black).. they can fall off and not compress the spring switch.. and give you the door ajar..

Hey Dave, long time no see?

looks like you have a few options to check? Good luck with the fix.
Post up what you find in the end Dave for the record.


Cheers
