You can find out what door is causing it by opening all the doors one at a time, any new doors will ding at you, if you open a door and it does not ding, that would be the one sticking.

You need to go through every door and spray a heavy amount of Penetrating oil, such as WD-40 or PB BLaster into the locking mechanism. One of your switches for door ajar is sticking open. Once you spray the latches and open and close them a few times, it'll be fixed. I havnt had it happen in years cause I soaked the crap out of the latches

This happens in the winter the most I bet too. For me it's when it changes from cold to hot hot to cold outside quickly.

The wd-40 will work probably. I don't think I soaked mine enough. Mine will something come on in the middle of a drive for no reason. Just snaps on while cruising down the highway.
