Passenger Door Sensor broke

ok you know the annoying door ajar beep that happens when one of the doors isnt shut all the way. Well its broke so even if the door is air tight it beeps and goes on and off while im driving and is extremely annoying! Where is the sensor for it or wire/fuse so i can cut it or destroy it cause its driving me insane!!!!

The door switch is located at the rear lower corner of the door jamb. On the door, there should be a rubber piece that lines up with it, which actually operates the switch. If that is loose or missing, the switch will think the door is not shut.

Pull back the rubber boot on the switch, remove the screw. Pull the switch out and check for corrosion. The switch has a short wire tail, then a plug in connector.

Or you can do what I did, and take it off and remove the connections that way it never beeps, Down side is that the interior light no longer comes on when the door opens.
