Default annoying door light

ok so i have a crx, 89 dx to be exact. the passenger door is the problem. everytime i hit a bump or a left turn it would beep and the light on the dash came on. i tried to adjust the metal hook thing the door grabs onto wen it closes. today i even took out the switch and grounded that wire and the problem went away.... so i thought. i went to the store for beer, hit a pothole and ithe light came on along with the beep. i reach over and tug on the passenger door and the beeping goes away. any ideas?

Unscrew the 1 screw on the black tab, clean off the ****. Usually there's some crap corroded on it. Clean it, then put it back on. Also if the tab has broken down a little just rap some electrical tape on it to make it wider to press the tab farther to not trigger the sensor.

clean both door switches
i'm thinking maybe it's a different bad ground?
or more possibly there was an alarm previously installed in the car, and they used a stupid connector that is grounding out on the chassis.

i cleaned them both and i dont think its a ground cuz wen it beeps i can pull on the passenger door and it will go off but theres no sensor on there! im thinkin maybe theres one in the door, or the wire has a short

I was browsing through a couple of thread much like yours and I found where people would hit the brakes the light would come on, supposedly the horn fuse under the hood was blown and they replaced that and it fixed it?

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/every-time-i-press-brake-door-ajar-light-flases-beeps-1293203/

See first 4 posts.

Worth a shot, hope it helps!
