The door ajar switch is located inside and a part of the actuator and latching assembly. It must be replaced as a whole unit. The only other thing you could have is a broken wire in the door or wire loom.

Sometimes the switch gets sticky and you can spray the latch assembly good with wd-40 and it will fix it. Worth a shot before spending a bunch of cash.
