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.

Simple solution is to just remove the sensor, it has yellow wires the wire has a plug like a foot from the sensor. All you have to do is unplug it

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.
