I've been wondering forever where the door open switch is. I thought it was in the door actuator but that can't make any sense if it can change from door completely open

That problem is probably a broken wire in the door jamb snorkel.

They are built inside the lock unit. They are hall sensors detecting the latch position. The position sensor on my driver's door failed and started to randomly turn on the alarm. Also sometimes while driving showing "DOOR OPEN" on instrument cluster. I took the lock unit apart and there was nothing obviously wrong with the sensor. Eventually installed a new lock unit.
