Default Door sensor?

Does anyone know where the door sensor is located? I am thinking it is magnetic and located in the door latch assembaly... I am having problems with my warning bell sounding off after truck is turned off... Any one have any experiance with these or any ideas? Thanks... 2001 4.7 Dak quad...

The door sensor is at the latching mechanism within the door structure.

Looking at the schematics, it appears to be a mechanical switch.
Here's some words from my FSM

"The door ajar switches are integral to the door latches on each door."
"The switches close a path to ground for the Central Timer Module (CTM) when a door is opened."
"The door ajar switches cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the door latch unit must be replaced."
