'99 Silverado/Sierra door jamb sensor question

Where is the sensor that detects if the door is ajar? I am looking for what is usually a small push button, but none exists.



The vehicle detects that the door is partially open, while the door is securily closed.



Thanks

By detecting that the door is open is this: Normally, when I turn the ignition off, the accessories should stay on, radio, power windows, etc (for about twenty minutes or until I pull the door handle). Now, when I turn the key off, everything stops. In addition, if I have the dome light enabled, it stays on, even with the door closed.

Thanks

Bobo,

Thanks for your feedback. It is very helpful. I will check out what you have suggested. I have not yet been able to see which switch I have. I will grab the meter and test it. A schematic would be most helpful.

So, I will take you up on your offer for a schematic. Thanks.

One more question. If I break the $5 switch while testing it, will it cause any other annoyances or just the ones that I already have?

Thanks Again, John snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
