Lets talk door latches?

'07 fx4. Door ajar light (and interior) light comes on just about everytime i hit a bump. Driverside rear (suicide) door has some wiggle to it at the bottom latch. Top is still solid.

How hard is it to replace these things??

There are videos for that, lol

You can try adjusting the latch as well

The door switches are GROUNDED when door is open, so the Door Ajar light is activated by the door switch closing and grounding
That means you can just unplug any of the door switches and no more Ground, so no more Door Ajar light
You do have to take the door panel off to do this, so might as well look for the issue at that time, but you can still leave it unplugged
