Usually if you loosen the screws on the latch receiver mounted on the cab edge, the latch can be shifted up/down or front/back.

Why would a 1995 Ford Ranger give a long beep and the dome light come on?

Your door latch is not functioning properly or your "Door Ajar" switch isn't functioning. Try WD40 in the door latch. If that doesn't work, you may have to remove the latch assembly and clean it, then work it manually for a while my ranger took about 30 minutes to free up the latch spring.

Why would the exterior and interior lights stay on in a 1999 Ford Expedition?

I'm not sure if they are the same or not, but I had the same problem with a 2000 Ford Ranger. The fix given on another web site for the Ranger is to spray the door latch (in the hole on the edge of the open door that mates with the latch device on the door jamb) with WD40. If the Expedition system is like the Ranger, the light switch is in door latch & WD40 will fix it for a few months, at least. Hope this works.
