Door Ajar Sensor
I think I have the exact opposite problem of everyone else who posts here about this thing. My door ajar sensor never tells me my doors are open, which is not a huge problem. But I think that sensor is tied into two other systems which are problems:
1. your key is in the ignition, moron
2. you left your headlights on, moron
I do both of these very frequently and would like to have the audible warning that the car provides when you do these things. I took the door ajar sensors off both doors today and found them rotted and broken... how hard are these things to replace?
Thanks for the help.

If it takes you 5 minutes to replace a door sensor then you need to sell your car and buy a Toyota.
It is just about as simple as one could imagine. It would be easier than even replaceing the oil or the battery.
Unscrew old switch/sensor, remove it from the hole, unplug it. Plug in the new sensor/switch screw, put it in the hole, screw down the retaining screw.

I had the exact same prolem, I rebuit them and it was fairly easy for me. If I remember well they're only a piece of metal with a spring; maybe you could custom make something?
Oh, and it made my security system come back to life!!!

Is this sensor just as easy to change? (It's in the door, right?)
