The switches are in the latches. It's usually the tailgate or the back window. I just shorted the switches out in mine.
ps: you can tell which one it is by opening them one at time with the key in. They should cause a bong if they are working.
I had the same problem with my Sable. The dealer just lubricated the strikers in the door locks. Geoff.
Same problem in my 1998 Ranger... just a few squirts of WD-40 in the door latches did the trick.
