1998 ford ranger door ajar light stays on?

Try spraying WD-40 on the door latch, the part that is on the door itself. The door ajar switch is located in with the latch. Had the same problem, door ajar light on, interior light stays on, and horns toots twice when you lock with remote, to signal door is not closed. Door was shut but truck didn't know it, WD40 fixed it.

Why does the dome light stay on all the time in a 1997 Ford Ranger?

The door ajar switch is sticking, just spray the door lock mechanism on the side of the door with WD-40.My 97 ranger had this problem yrs ago while under warrenty. I took it in and they replaced the door ajar switches. The whole thing would have been around 200. if not under warrenty. Still had to pay 5.00 for the dome light lens it melted. A year later it was staying on again so now i have no interior light. Sucks, but not paying 200plus for a simple little light. I'll try the WD-40.

What makes my 1999 Ford Ranger XLT cab light stay on and door ajar light stay on for no reason and door locks not always work?

Sounds like one of the door switches or wire running to them is shorted to ground, since the indicator and cab light are looking for a ground to come on. Some vehicles will not allow power door locks to work while doors are ajar.

Dome light on 1999 Ford Ranger always on?

Just to the right of your headlight switch on your dash , is a gauge lighting dimmer wheel switch . Check to see if that has been rotated all the way up. If it has , that turns on the courtesy lights when the doors are closed If you also get a door ajar warning light in your gauge cluster , you probably have a sticking door ajar switch . The door ajar switches are inside the doors , on the backside of the latching mechanism .

How do you fix a 1995 Ford Ranger door switch so the dome light and door ajar light will go off?

Blast the switch with some wd40 and push it in and out a bunch of times, this usually works on fords when the light wont come on but its worth a shot. If no luck you will have to replace the switch.


Why wont the interior lights go off in your 1997 ford explorer?

I'm not a mechanic / technician but on a 1997 Ford Explorer I believe that if the gauge panel dimmer switch ( to the right of your headlight switch ) is rotated all the way up it will turn on all the interior courtesy lights when the doors are closed Also , is the " DOOR AJAR " warning light on in your dash to the left of the fuel gauge , if so either a door or the liftgate is slightly ajar or a door ajar switch is sticking , I believe that will also keep the interior lights on


Where is the door ajar switch contacts located on a 2003 ford ranger?

The door ajar switches are inside the doors mounted on the backside of the latching mechanism - They have a pin switch which tends to get dirty causing them to stick so the door ajar light comes on in your dash. Some fellows spray the latch mechanism with WD 40 but I think an electrical contact cleaner would work better - Helpfull
