This is speaking from experience. I used to have two 97+ Xj soundbars in my rig.

I have damage to my right rear door, and the metal doesn't push the button in to cut the lights. I had to tape an eraser to the inside of the door to make contact so the light goes off.

When I got this jeep I just figured out which switch was bad and unscrewed it and monkey with it till the light would turn off when the door was shut.
