False Positive "Door Open" Warning Light On

A few weeks ago, I replaced the Front Right (passenger) Door Carrier because I couldn't open the door from outside.
Thanks to PNG & Other helpful posts here, it wasn't too difficult to fix the problem.

However three new problems emerged.
1. The power window wasn't working.
(It turned out I blew the fuse and I was able to fix it.)
2. Passenger side Power Door Lock stopped working.
3. False Positive "Door Open" Warning Light On Consistently. and interior lights are on as well.

It is very much likely that door lock sensor circuit is open and failed because I disconnected and reconnected while the connector was hot(live wire).,I should replace the Door Lock Actuator(DLA).
Unfortunately I have a reservation on changing $200 DLA because, I have changed all the door related parts on the driver's side and it didn't fix the power lock problems.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Check your fuses again. There are quite a few for the door locks. As a matter of fact, pull them, and re-insert them. You wouldn't believe it, but this is the second time I fixed something that way. One time my windows weren't opening, pulled the fuses, inserted them back in, and it all works. This past Saturday, my bluetooth just doesn't want to work. No matter what I do. Pulled fuses, inserted them again, it friggen works. Don't ask me why this fixes it.
