Rear door ajar warning bulbs don't work 700

The front door ajar bulbs lite up fine but the rears do not work- I put in new bulbs. Any ideas?!

The contacts in the switches mounted in the door frames corrode. Remove these, clean with DeOxIt, and reinstall using silicone grease on the contacts. Often a mere cleaning is not enough and you need a new switch.

Do I remove them by using needle nose pliers to pull the contacts out? Thanks.
