had the door ajar problem ,ect tried the wd40 nothing. took the door apart and found the problem after some long investigating !!!!!!!!!!!!! FOUND THE PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the door boot which is hard to get out of the way but you can pull the boot into the door to get a good look at the wires takes a little work but it was worth it. one of the black wires where broke and one was almost broke the coating was broke but not the copper.i spliced the wire with a crimp and taped both up good problem gone hope this helps asked a friend who works in a garage and he said most places won't check for this but it happens alot more than people think.hope this is helpful
