So my passengers door when the key is turned to on makes a buzzing sound it seems to coming from the front half of the door.

Also something odd stated happening the other day when I had the t-tops in the trunk the warning light for the hatch came on. So I stopped the car got out looked and made sure everything was closed. I was driving down the road when the light would blink off and on when I went over bumps and what not. Is there easy fix for this. If it is the hatch sensor switch where is it located and can it be fix.

It's kinda hard to read your post. You have a buzzing sound coming from the passenger door when the key is "ON"?

Try to isolate what portion of the door the buzzing is coming from. There's not many things that can buzz in a door on these cars.

And as far as the light going on and off, it's either your passenger door or your hatch. More than likely the hatch, though, since it's going off when you go over bumps. It's going to be the sensor switch in the hatch that tells the car the hatch is closed.

Yeah at 1st it was sounding like it was coming from the door but it is coming from the light. Also turns out that it is the right side door that is not closing all the way. There does not seem to be anything stopping it from closing.

The doors on these cars are heavy and chances are yours has likely sagged over time. Write up below should fix the issue.

The noise is the climate control fan, I believe it feeds interior air towards a sensor which tells the climate computer what the temperature is inside the cabin.

If you pop off that piece of trim you will see the fan, try cleaning it and spraying some lubricant on the shaft. **It's underneath the piece of trim with the overhead map lights you have in the video
