I believe there's two, the one on the post which controls the interior lights and the one in the lock which makes the alarm go off at 2am...

Tali is right, WD40 cured my rogue alarm on two occasions...

Mike or someone should know more ;)

Daz, have you tried the switch in the door post too? undo the screw and it pulls out, you can clean the plunger from there...

Other switch is in the door lock, not easy I fear :-/
