To troubleshoot this problem you do need a little electrical knowledge. To try to do this without is a lot harder. Try the obvious things like looking for crossed, pinched, wires, grounded wires at the wrong spots or bad grounds, wrong or improperly installed bulbs, melted lamp housings etc. Follow the wires by color and make sure all connections are correct and clean. Check the switches to make sure they aren't grounding at the wrong spot. Check that the wires for the 2 switches by the driver's door, the light switch and the buzzer switch aren't mixed together. If all of these simple things seem right then it is possible that you may have a bad diode. If you don't know how to test them just replace all of them (4). They aren't expensive and you can get them in Radio Shack. It's not good tthat the door ajar light stays on, it will eventually kill the battery. The lite should go out by pulling fuse #12 with the key off. If it doesn't you have more problems.
