    There is a switch, built into the latch mechanism on some or more likely mounted at the hinge area as on most, that sends a signal to the instrument panel to tell the IPM if and when the door is ajar, for safety reasons. That switch or associated harness is seeing an intermittent, or total, open circuit. Diagnosis and tracing which component can become extensive.
    The circuit goes to ground when the door is open, also turning on the dome light circuit.
    The wire color is Grn/Red, but other circuits on that vehicle may also use that color combo.
    Good luck.
