I've sprayed it with everything and it's still goes off when I'm driving and sets my alarm off when it's parked, can I just disconnect it some how without having to remove the whole door panel?

Most lubricants will collect more junk and most cleaners will degrade plastic parts. Now days, those latches aren't meant to be lubricated. R&I the Door panel and latch - R&R the switch.

"door panel and latch has to come out to replace it." This is a lie all over the internet that cost me an hour and a half taking the door-panel off and removing the latch. The switch is in the latch striker mounted to the door jamb. Ten minute replacement. Part no: 5S4Z-5422008-A or 2M5Z-5422008-AA
