help on how to fix a "door ajar red light and dinging"?

One of the shut of switches inside the door jam on the driver or passenger's side is broken. It should look like a pop up timer, that has gone off, when the door is in the open position. But if the button looks like the timer has not , meaning the outside sleave is even with the top of the button. This Broken one. Test shut all doors, press the button with hand look at indicator. You will find the culprit.
