How do you deactivate the open door alarm in the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Car door

The method applied in this video guide completely resolves the issue of the open door alarm activation, and it also applies to the rear hatch and the engine hood. Essentially, it identifies the switch that manages this alert and bypasses it, ensuring that the notification no longer occurs, allowing you to calmly determine the cause of the false alarm, such as a shorted electrical cable, a broken switch, internal oxidation, and so on. This is clearly a temporary solution; it is definitely better to restore each component and have the peace of mind that it will function normally in case of need.
