Finding door ajar switch 1997

I have continuous door ajar message on dash. I am thinking broken switch on driver side. Previous owner removed dome lamp because 12 volts won't switch off.
My question is how to get to the switch. Maybe remove emergency brake assembly and rubber seal behind door stop arm location?
It is on a 97 F150, 4.2L, 2WD, Automatic
Many thanks!
Jim
