Stop the beeping and flashing
 

I have a 2001 Wrangler Sahara and have always been annoyed by the loud
beeping that goes with leaving the key in the ignition or leaving the
door open, etc. (I don't find these reminders useful as I do not
often lock myself out of the car or drive off with a door swinging
open.)

However, now I have a new problem - the contact in the door switch is
playing up. While I am driving along (with the door closed) the
interior dome light comes on at random intervals. This is
particularly disturbing at night - I can only imagine what other
drivers think I am up to. Disco perhaps?

Can anyone tell me how to get at the door switch? I can't see an
obvious way to open this or remove it from the door well for
repair/replacement?

Thanks in advance,
Lee (Disco-Jeep)

You can pull #4 fuse to disable the door switches for running doorless
as well as it kills the beeper.

The inside light then still works with the light switch.

Pull Fuse #4.

This will disable the switch that detects that the door is open.
