Default Door Sensor Problem...HELP!

I have a 2000 A4 Avant. The display keeps showing that my driver's side door is open after i closed it & ther lights stay on also. This only happens when the weather is HOT. After I drive the car for a while, then i open the door & close it, then the display is gone (lights off, too). My driver's side inside door handle is also loose but still works. I wonder if they are related. I did a search in the forums, a member (jcmII) had the same problem (i think), but no respond. Do i have to take it to the dealer (my warranty has expired so i prefer not)? I'd appreciate your responds.

Default The door sensor is built into the door latch.

You might want to look into cleaning the latch system to see if maybe something is keeping the switch grounded.
