Want this question answered?
On my 2002 sportage 2-door, the door ajar light stays on when the tailgate is not locked. with the key.
Chime
Each door has an ajar sensor. Disconnect it and see if it works. If it does not work, just unplug the ajar alarm, which is a small black box, from the panel to disable it.
There is no dedicated fuse for the door chime.
You should be able to find a little rubber covered button somewhere on the door frame - you should be able to pull this out and disconnect the wires that go into the little button.
If the door ajar light is coming on in your gauge cluster, and the warning chime is sounding when all your doors, liftgate, and glass hatch are securely shut you most likely have a sticking door ajar switch. The door ajar switches are inside the doors mounted on the latch mechanisms.
The driver's side door ajar sensor may not be working.
the chime would stay on if the keys are in the ignition (but the car turned off) and if the door is ajar to warn that the lights are still on
I cant tell you how to disable the light but i can for the buzzer, theres a little box under neath the dash with 3 small holes in it. disconnect that and it will disable the buzzer, but that buzzer also is for the door ajar and when you leave your lights on or key in the ignition so think about that first. if you can find a wirinf diagram you might be able to just cut 1 wire to disable just that function but i dont have one.
i...i dont know. do you?
im not sure if its the same as on mine (2000 ) but it is located behind the panel to the left of the emergency brake but once i disconnected it the radio no longer shuts off when opening the door
I had a problem with my door ajar switch staying on in a 98 EXPO and when I took it to the dealer they just sprayed W-D 40 in the locking mechanism for the door. I guess there is a senso in there that turns the door ajar light on and the w-d 40 makes it get contact.
