These types of videos are why I love KZfaq. Thank you sir.

Excellent! That had to have been a pain to find and repair but great work.

This fixed my problem! Thank you for making this video!

Imagine what this guy would be capable of if he had real tools.

Thank you so much,, Your Video is straight to the point,,, Really appreciate it,,,..

Hello Nathan. On you're Ford explorer today door ajar was good one today. I've had on my 2003 3.0 Vulcan Ford Taurus in wintertime in extreme cold my door ajar come's on, but after warming up interior my dome light and door ajar light goes out! I saw you're other video on you're Ford expedition and you used white lithium grease to repair problem. I will try that in future, thank you for the tip, and today's remedy in case it's a bad sensor in door, or broken wire. 👍 ✌

Thank you so much this video helped me out a lot fixed my problem

Great video! I have similar problem with mine, my outside mirrior lights are always on and now, my headlights are staying on most of the time too! Ive noticed a lot of cut wires in that rubber boot between the door and body. Its just too damn cold to be getting to it right now haha Thanks for sharing your video!

Door ajar light is always caused by the sensor switch, it's the other one behind the switch you showed. But a great video showing the wiring. I had 5 broken wired

i fix the door ajar like what you did, same problem black wire was cut inside the boot! thank you for making this video!

Thank you A great help sir.

Thank you so much that helped me a lot brother thank you

Great Job tracing down the problem!

WOW! All that work paid off. Great Job. Thank you for posting

Thank, need to try that today. 👍🏽

Thanks for confirming my suspicions The puddle light on my 2002 Explorers drivers door doesn't work and the interior lights behave the same as the ones in your video. At night I have to turn the dial switch to illuminate the instrument panel and if I don't turn it off when I turn the headlights off, the interior lights will stay on killing the battery. I've always suspected a bad ground somewhere but this proves it!

Thanks for the great video.

Fixed it for me. Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks bro

I have a 1998 mercury mountaineer and I have some similar problems. But the problems im having is in regards to the power door options including power locks mirror and windows

Good 👍

I have this problem..same year...i will follow your example..thanks

I have a 2005 escape and it only has 40 thousand miles. Well, my door ajar light is showing up on my dash. I'm going to try these ideas, since it's a ford. The map light was also coming on. I removed bulbs, and turned off dome lights manually. Thank you posting.

Natnan Rohrboug mucnas jrasias por su video 👌

I had the same problem (2003 LIncoln Aviator). I did the same thing as the person in this video, but it didn't help. Door ajar stayed on. BUT! After a week or so, it seemed to get worse: the door ajar came on and off constantly during driving, it drove me nuts (beep! beep! beep! beep!). Even worse, when I locked the car, the ALARM started to go off. So I decided to keep the car open at night for about a week, to prevent the alarm from going off. And the beeping during driving went on... Looking back now, that was a good sign. Door Ajar was first PERMANANTLY on (that only led to ONE beep when I started the car), but after I sprayed white grease and WD-40 in it, it apparantly took a while to settle in, and sometimes it went off, and sometimes on. That led to an awful lot op beeping!! But that showed that the latch or whatever started working again... About 10 days after I sprayed the latches, suddenly the Door Ajar light stayed off. And it never came back!! THANK YOU!

Dang I was hoping it was a switch I wasn't aware of ,inherited this vehicle and still learning everything.This is messed up because I'm out of town

I hope that you put some washer fluid in it, changed the oil and added air to your tires too!!!

One question. What gage is this black wire??? Good video by the way. Thank you.

But for the time being I can drive the vehicle if I toogle off the dome light for the time being....with the dome lights off it shouldn't drain the battery in the interim. Thanks for the video.

good job finding the door ajar problem but what about all the other erroneous warnings? tire air - oil- etc mine is giving several warnings that are false?. this seems to be a manufacturer electrical problem I have heard from 2 other people with 2007 & 2005 ford pickup trucks with the same problem

Good diagnostics....Almost!! While the broken black wire was the correct fix, the grey plug tested was actually the power lock solenoid, not the door adjar switch. Fordtechmakuloco has a good video on the same problem. He had to remove the rear lower window track to access the correct switch.

My 03 ford exp. Sports tracker lights work when button is press but will not turn on when door is open ...mode center switch might be broken...doesn't feel like its clicking

Hello. I have the issue in my car (Explorer 2008), but the difference is that mine doesn't show any Fault message on the display. The car turns on the Dome Light and also the lights on the side mirrors. Once the car starts they still stay on. What do you think that may cause the problem?

Dam the light in the back is on to

6:48 "With the *adoor jar* problem"

I have same steering wheeler covor, its upside down btw ;)

Nice video. Help a lot. 👍 I have a. 02 ford explorer. Same like your's. I have a problem. To close the rear hatch door. That one. On top. With the glass. Can you give me a. Idea how to fixed. I will appreciate it. I have a hard time to closed. .

I have the same exact problem in my Citroen C4 Coupe 2006.

For me all of my doors were fine. No need for the inside of the door to be taken off but in my case it was just a simple door was open. And not the four doors and the trunk there is an extra door on the trunk that opens partially and it opened a little somehow so just try pushing on your trunk door in the middle under the window

I had same problem 2002 explorer I tried driver door with paper clip then went to passenger door and after inserting paper clip in the plug the light went out and fixed the problem the switch is bad was able to order one on line for $13.99 from rockauto .com Thank you

My door light was on and watching this video let me know what the hell was wrong...I'm a in home electrician and I can do this work on my truck...takes time

My driver's side lock is stuck to unlock and this is what's causing mines to go on and off, so how can I get it from the unlock mode to lock without breaking it?

Mine don't stay on all the time it comes on and off. So the wires isn't the issue with mine it must be a switch

what rims are those?

The outside door light is still on

duct tape?

FORDs rip-off
