Silly AR thinks its doors are closed when they're open

I've searched the forums and folks talk about fouled micro switches, but this is affecting both passenger side doors and the tail gate. Is there a central controller I can troubleshoot?

Checked via VAG-COM, open and close the door and yet the system keep saying the door is closed.

Any thoughts?

There is a chance they're all bad especially if your wife and kids like to slam their doors and the trunk(like mine)

I would replace one of them and go from there(or at least open it up and see what you find)

Sorry, I'm of no real help
