On a front door You must replace the entire door latch. Part #3B1-837-015-AS it lists for $184.26. You will need a special 12 point male bit to remove two screws visible when door is open near latch. Window track rivets must be drilled out and re-bolted near latch. This needs to be done so the inner door panel will move far enough away to slip out the latch. This job requires some patience the first time you do it. I'm sure the same applies to the rear door. Probably a different part #. Check with your local dealer. By the way I don't know the answer because I love to work on VW. I hate them, but it pays the bills!

i...i dont know. do you?
The driver's side door ajar sensor may not be working.
Spray oil on it through the door and it will stop.
broken or stuck sensor... bad thing... easiest is to replace whole lock...
The door ajar sensor, on a 2005 Ford escape, is located inside the door panel behind the door lock. There is a sensor on each door.
The door ajar switch is part of the latch, inside the door.
I am facing the same problem with my 2001 jetta. The door ajar switch is integrated into the locking mechanism of the door. i was told by a mechanic at the vw dealer that the lock needs to be replaced and the part alone is about $200.

I had the same problem, but it was solved by spraying a little lubricant on the door latch. I was shocked when it worked because the dealer wanted to charge me $400.
on the bottom of the inner door frame there is a little nub sticking out with two screws. you have to unscrew them and pull the nub out and replace it with a new one
The door ajar switches are inside the doors mounted on the backside of the door latches
The sensor you are looking for is an integral part of the door latch.
Each door has an ajar sensor. Disconnect it and see if it works. If it does not work, just unplug the ajar alarm, which is a small black box, from the panel to disable it.
They are built inside the latches.
