My 1996 Windstar had the same problem, I found that the sliding door had some type of swinging switch. Looking into the door latch of sliding door is a square hole with rubber around. I used wd-40 and some other lubes. Each oil change I spray the hole and latch system. On each door is a set of contacts. I use scotch brite pad and clean them on both contact points. It does not so this any more.
Note. When you do this it takes time for the lube to work. After 2 days of moving and such it stops. If you notice the lignt and bell starts when you are stopping or starting. I found this information some years back and it has saved me from trading the van. Good luck. I also found that when my door ajar light was stuck on (liftgate in my case), the interior lights were automatically deactivated. Once the false ajar signal went away, the lights resumed normal behavior.
Also, when the dashboard dimmer wheel switch is in the all the way down position, it deactivates the interior lights - handy for when tail-gating or cleaning the van with the doors open.

How do you activate door lights of a 1999 ford windstar?
The Windstar has a position on the light dimmer scroll-wheel that turns the interior lights off, even with the doors open. Great for at the picnic, tailgate party, cleaning the car, etc, to keep from killing the battery. Make sure the dimmer switch scroll wheel is not all the way up (or is all the way down?) Also - If you have a malfunctioning "door ajar" switch, after some time, the Windstar will deactivate the interior lights. Fix the door ajar warning and the lights will resume normal functions.
