I had the same problem and I finally figured out I had to turn my headlight switch all the way to the right until it clicked. Try that.

you could have a bent stopper where the door wedges and turns off the light.

Had the same problem except the ding never stopped. Turned out to be a defective door catch (mechanism located inside the door).

Another vote for: It is the switch that senses when the door is open.

It could be either door switch. Your car thinks the door is open. It's either the switch or a relay. Check a Chilton manual for the wiring to see where the devices are located in the car. Haynes may not give you this information.
