Default Door ajar light on

Hi All
Ive got a 2000 plate 1.7 Puma. In the last few days the door ajar light has been on constantly on the dash, the door buzzer doesn't work anymore when the lights are left on and the interior light does not come on when you open the drivers door. I have cleaned and lubricated the door locks, swapped the door switches (which made no difference) and cleaned the tailgate terminals. I have just put a tester on the drivers side wire that connects to the door switch and its not showing any power going to it. Are the doors fused separately ???
I really don't know what to try next, can anyone help

i think the switches switch a ground rather than +12v so its correct for you to not see any voltage there

Any idea what the problem could be then. As I said I've swapped the switches so it's not that

Hello I have a ford escort which doesnt make a sound when I leave headlights on with driver door open and no interior lights come on when driver door is open. Did you find a solution to fix this?

Is it to do with the boot pins and terminals? Sometimes they need a clean up but not sure if it's connected to the Same circuit
