Each door has one door sensor. It locates behind the door handle inside the door panel. To locate and test those, you need to open the door panel and the insulated sheet. There will be a plug that plugs into the switch module on the side of the mechanical door switch module. To remove it, you need to uncrew the two crew from the outside of the door where the sticker shows the year of the car. To test them, you need to remove the plug goes in each switch. The one you unplug with the dome light clear (turn off) after the door close, that means that switch is definitely bad.
Good luck,
Tony
