The dash should show which door is ajar if it's a door switch to help get you to a door causing the problem.

Until you figure it out you can disable the cabin lights by holding the cabin light switch for 3 seconds to put the cabin lights into repair mode.

Door open fault

Nothing in the door latch will respond in a favorable way to resolve your problem with WD-40.

When you open doors shuts it show you each correct open door?

Look at my awr-fix: door actuator to see the internals of the actuator.

The sensor for lock and latch positions are magnetic.

Maybe on a low cluster - but not on the high cluster - no car icon.

That's crazy the high cluster doesn't say which door is open?

The only thing I can think of that spray would help with is the electrical connection. I would definitely take out the actuator and clean it properly.

If you live in a cold climate, treat it for ice resistance at the same time.

The switches are hermetically sealed magnetic switches. I'm not sure if the door open switches are in the marshes or where they are.
