The jam switch is located on the latch assymbly in the door. I had this very problem but on the drivers side where there are two switches. I sprayed them with a spray lube and it works perfectly. I did have to remove the door trim to get to it though.

96ChryslerCirrus: 'door' warning vs odometer miles, Dome light stays on.

In the Ford Ranger, the light switch can be found in the door, right by the latch. You may need to use some WD-40 to get to work properly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spray lubricant in the driver's and passenger door latches. One of the switches in the latch are sticking. Open and close the door several times to free up the switch.
