inside door panels, buy a repair manuel and it will tell you haw to remove it. easy fix!
I have the same question. Only I have a 2004 Explorer Sports Trac XLT.
98 ford explorer xlt dash light stays off y the switch is on
I had the same problem with my 98 Ford Expedition XLT. I sprayed WD-40 on all the door jams including the hatch. It fix problem been 3 years now.
Has the gauge panel dimmer switch , just to the right of your headlight switch , been turned all the way down ? That will keep your interior lights from coming on when you open the door
where is door jam switch on 2004 f150 xlt located
The ignition switch is located on the steering column right side, just below the steering wheel.
In the right front passenger's footwell , by the kick panel
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.
XLT means Extra Large Truck
First remove trim under the door handle that opens door,pull up on master window switch at top be careful not to break disconnect connectors, one screw behind window switch, two on bottom of door. Take door by the arm rest and pull up to release panel then,disconnect mirror connector,speaker is right there. This is for drivrs door. Hope this helped.
I believe door lite switches are in the door latch mechanisisms. I had the same problem in a 97 expy and I received a tip to spray WD-40 in all the ddor latch mechanisisms and it worked great the problem with the lights staying on never returned. ---------------------------------------- The above person is correct regarding switches been in the door latch mechanisms. I also had the same problem on my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT and I spray WD-40 in all the door latch mechanisms and it worked the problem with the lights when away 3 years now.
Is your chime continuing after cranking vehicle and door is closed. If so, there is an electrical switch in the door that gets stuck. Use a spray lubricant inside the door latch to free switch.
