Within the last week, our 2015 Odyssey suddenly will not lock its doors when using the fob, the door's armrest rocker switches, etc. The only lock that will lock all four doors is the one above the door handle on the driver's side.
While investigating, I realized that when the van is turned on, the indicator light showing the doors' statuses shows that the passenger-side sliding door does not register closed; its light is always on except for a split second when it closes. The dome light does not turn off, either.
There is no tone indicating that the van thinks the door is open and dangerous, just not fully latched.
I've attempted cleaning the silver contact based on a solution I found on another site (see attached photos) with no luck.

The linked video (here) shows the problem (warning: may induce motion sickness while I pan from dashboard to door and back).
Any ideas/suggestions? I'd love to avoid an expensive trip to the dealership to get it fixed. :/
