How to fix "door ajar" issue on 2012 Ford Edge with a screwdriver

WARNING: This is a destructive procedure. This will permanently fix the issue on a 2012 Ford Edge or similar model of the recurring, known "door ajar" issue... by breaking the switch responsible. IMPORTANT: After doing this, when you open the door, you will not get a "door ajar" warning. To me, this was worth it. Too many dead batteries and a brand new battery inspired me to break the damn thing. I've heard of others getting this assembly replaced only to have the issue return. So I figured why not just break it real good until it cooperates? If the radio doesn't go off when you exit the vehicle, just open/close a different door. Otherwise, the radio will simply go off on its own after a couple minutes (nothing significant enough to kill your battery). Also, I'm not too concerned about the alarm system. The factory alarm and/or aftermarket alarm probably won't sound if someone opens the door without a key. So be warned.
