One of the door or trunk switches itself might have failed. This is a little harder to test. If the WD40 approach does not work then test each switch to make sure that in the closed position that the 2 contacts will not allow current to flow through. Test with a test meter set to continuity and see if the scale jumps to 0 when the switch goes from open to close.
