Reading lights and warning chime won't shut off

Hello all,

I have a 98 Mustang GT convertible, and yesterday I noticed that my reading lights (interior) wouldn't shut off. I found a way that I can toggle the switches for the reading lights to turn them off so it wouldn't drain down the battery. Now, whwnever I am driving, I have the constant "ding, ding, ding, ding" going on. I tried using WD-40 on the door jam switches, tried disconnecting the battery with no luck. The only thing that DOES work is if I take out the fuse, but unfortunately if I do that, I have no AC or radio, and if you live in the South, you have to have AC. Any suggestions? Has anyone had a similiar problem? I am not opposed to cutting the wire to the speaker that makes the ding sound.

Is the pin switch the switch that is closest to the rear door the front of the door? I know of a door jam switch that you can manually push in that is closer to the rear of the door, but I am not sure if that is what you are referring to...
