Today I noticed the dash light indicating either the door or trunk was open. I drive a convertible so got out checked the two doors by opening and closing and same with the trunk. The light never went out until turning the car off. Is that a fuse issue?

 

Wouldn't think a fuse. Most likely a switch on one of the doors or trunk.

 

Yep Likely a Switch! BUT JUST A GUESS!

I Think a Code Reader That Can Read {BODY CODES} Would Pin Point it. Can't Recall For Sure?

Usually The Most Used Access Point. Drivers Door Best Guess!

The Goofy Thing Is The 2012 Shop Manual Just Omits The Switch Install Part So You Need To Look at Earlier Car PDF. Go Figure.

A Hail Mary Pass With Some Contact Cleaner Sprayed Downward May Clean Switch Enough To Get Light Out! Worth a Try. POINTING MORE STRAIGHT DOWNWARD! Could Do Both Doors!


The X is About Where Switch Would Be Inside Door!




Number 3 is Luggage Lid Switch! Again This is Earlier Car Maybe Different on 2012 Does Not Show Switch on 2012 Shop Manual!

 

My guess would also be a switch as well..

 

It's been pouring down rain here, a lot so today between storms finally got to try out the ideas you guys submitted. It's fixed. Definitely not the fuse, sprayed into the area recommended and tried the doors. Light out, Thanks everyone for the advise.
