Door Ajar Light

[ForumBlue]

The door Ajar Light stays on all the time. I've opened and closed all doors and rear hatch several times.

Any suggestions B-4 I disconnect the batteries?

Have you tried the ol' WD-40 trick to all the latch areas?

In the Superduties this seems to work always... the Excursions on the other hand I have heard need new parts...

But try the WD trick... spray all the latch mechanisms real good then open and close the door several times... that should fix ya.

Bill told me about that fix earlier. I did it a couple of hours ago but so far no luck.
Thanks.

Well the WD40 trick is a no go. I thought I could live with the little light in my dash, but the radio doesn't turn off when I open my door like it used to and since I'm on the phone a lot I use the mute feature and am afraid I will forget to turn off the radio when I shut down the truck. Plus I think there is a problem with the dome lights becuase of this also.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

More WD and then some more WD..

Are you spraying in the hole where the little arm comes out the front of the door? Does that make any sense?

Our Expidition's door ajar light comes on, but only when the back hatch isnt closed properly. It would be nice if you could pinpoint which one is giving you the fits, then maybe you could take the switch apart and clean the contacts?

sagebel,
I'm spraying it in the latching mechanism where the door lacthches to the square ring on the door frame .

95 stroker,
I'm pretty sure its the driver door since the radio doesn't turn off when I open it anymore.

Does anyone have the part # for that switch?

I thought the switch was on the little arm on the front side of the door just below the wire run boot.
