Idk what the correct fix is but I took the driverside door sensor out of the door an it fixed it and the dome light still comes on when I open my door but shuts off right away when I shut it

I was told on a different site that the door mechanisms are known to stick and to spray them with wd40 on they will losen up and work. I tried it last night and it fixed my problem. It was in passenger door that was stuck. I how this will work for you guys.

Did you guys take the door panel off or just spray the rod that slides in and out the slot in the body?
