So this started happening a few days ago, but i was sitting at idle waiting in front of someone's house when the car started acting up. the door open alert would show up on the dash, the interior cabin light turned on, and all the doors unlocked. it also happened while driving home. I thought it was a fluke but the same thing started happening today. googling the issue, there are posts on other car forums that point to the door sensor not fully making contact with the frame. has this happened to anyone else? are there other troubleshooting methods I should try to narrow down the issue? is replacing the sensors easy to do and if so are there any diagrams or anything I can look at to do this myself?

bad door switch. It's on the body of the car near the door striker when you open the driver's door, little black rubber guy with a 8mm bolt.
