[Shotimes] Door Ajar light

[Ron DeReus]

Thank you, my laziness to find a fix has led to you saving my sanity,
anyway!

If WD30 works on my 95.  It has had this symptom since it turned cold last
fall, too.  For a while I could lock/unlock the doors and the light would go
out, but not for about a month.

WD-40!! Works great.... spray liberal amounts in the latch mechanism on
each door. Open and close each door a few times. Repeat in a couple of days
for good measure.

I've had to do this on two Taurii and a Thunderbird!
