Doorlatch switch for door ajar warning 850

I have a 95 850 turbo wagon. Does anyone know where in the door the switch is that turns on the door chime? I want to find the easiest way to access it to try sprying it with contact cleaner or replacing it. It stays on most of the time.
Thanks

    It's a small black plastic piece that is U shaped, in the door and looks like it is part of the door latch. With your finger, just push it up and out toward the street. If the chime stops, you found it. A little WD-40 works wonders. If the chime still makes noise, it may be the micro switch and that is a PITA to get to and fix.

      It is a major paint to take off, I tried the clean and tighten method last night and will let you know if that fixed it, if not I am pulling the chime. I used WD 40 and silicon spray.
