[Shotimes] "Door Ajar" light (reprise)

[Leigh Smith]

Mike;
Thanks for the tip. I may just try uplugging mine as well. I'll be into 
the doors this weekend for speakers anyway, so if I find out anything 
else I'll let you know.

FYI: the sensor at the top of the latch comes off easily with a small 
screw, but hard to get to.
