RE: door ajar light
HI!!!!
I had a similar issue. Except mine would flicker on and off while driving.
Heres the fix (hopefully).
The clicking noise under the dash is NOT A FUSE, its just the relay switch (basically the same thing that makes noise when you put a blinker on or the hazzards).
AND DONT TAKE OUT THE DOME LIGHT, IT COMES IN HANDY (LOL)
Its making noise because something is causing it to think the door is open.
On all four door jams, there are little black buttons that push in when the door is closed (the driver door should have 2, one for the dome/door ajar and one for the alert that the headlights are on or the keys in the ignition).
One by one press them in and out to make sure they all work right
There are rubber circles that press the buttons in, if they're missing the buttons won't be depressed enough to keep the door ajar light off.
Whatcha gotta do is...
sit inside the car with it on (duh, sorry)
With the doors closed, push and pull (hard) each door until the the door ajar light and/or dome goes off or on (or both). When you figure out which door it is (mine was the back passenger) see if the rubber stopper is still on the door, where it would meet the button on the frame.
I, know, I take forever to explain. Sorry.
Well, there should be 2 stoppers on the front passenger door too, one of them doesnt have a button t press. Pull it out and put it where you are missing one. thats it, thats all ya gotta do.
Sheez, I need to learn shorthand or something haha
Well, hope it works!!!!!!!!!

RE: door ajar light
The dome light will turn off eventually if it was on in the first place due to an open door (to save the battery). If the car thinks your door is always open, it has already turned itself off. One by one, with all the other doors closed, push the black buttons on the door jam in and out and see which one makes the ajar light go off. Check that all the round rubber stoppers are on the doors. If your missing one just replace it. Like I said there should be an extra one on the passenger door.

RE: door ajar light
It's definately the little black switches in the door. Had the same problem with my 99. I was going to buy the relay at the dealership for 50 bucks cause it was clicking, but the guy told me to try the switches first since they were only 6 bucks a piece. Bought all new ones and that fixed the problem. Just make sure when you put the new ones in the screw holes don't have paint around them so it makes a good ground.
