It is designed to stay on. It will not drain your battery.
The alternator is failing.
You will have to disconnect the battery for 10 seconds or more to reset the computer, then reconnect the battery and check if the light is off and remains off , if the light comes back on I would take to mechanic and have it scanned for trouble codes.
Very likely an alternator problem; if the alt is not working soon the battery would be drained and the truck would shut off.
The door ajar light might stay on in a Mercury Mountaineer if a door is not shut properly. Sometimes a door will seem like it is shut, but will not be shut enough to trip the light off. Check for dirt or other debris in the door latch for all doors.
The odometer light will stay on if the headlights are on a 1997 Dodge Status. Be sure to click the lights off even after shutting the vehicle off.
