Sticky sensor, I'm not sure where it is, but I think it's on the B piller iirc, have a look and push it in and out a few times. hth.

its just the push sensor thing on the front door take it out an give it a clean your need a torx bit set

It'll be the slam plate (or whatever it's called) - the bit on the B pillar that the door lock clicks into. Sounds like it needs adjusting a small bit to stop that. Do it in small amounts until the light stops coming on.

were is the push sensor in the door

Not sure what he meant by push sensor. As far as I'm aware the door closed sensing system works on an electrical contact principle, hence the bit about adjusting the slam plate. I'd certainly try that first, that's what I did when mine popped up one day on the tailgate.

Isn't it a switch in the lock mechanism??

Could be Ste, buried inside - certainly not easily visible. Maybe once you pop off the two large Torx bolts on the door lock (possibly what Danny was referring to) it'll be visible. My money's still on a small adjustment to the striker plate though.
