Tailgate ajar light / indicator always on V70-XC70 1998

Mine failed under the original warranty, I recall that the latch was replaced (the switch is internal to the latch) and that the part wasn't cheap.

Considering that the other 4 doors on the car don't have "door ajar" warning lights, have you considered just bypassing the switch, rather than replacing it?
