Where is it?  Dash keeps beeping when i'm driving and telling me that the drivers door is open, but it isn't!  It's driving me insane!

I've literally no idea.  I did some googling which suggested that I should spray WD40 inside the lock.  Apparently the sensor is in there and can get clogged up.

I hate removing the door cards! I always break the clips!

Goodluck
