Has anyone else had this problem?

Randomly when I get in my truck the door adjar symbol stays on while I am driving and then other times it goes off normally like it should, then tonight when i got out of my truck my interior light wouldnt go off. I started it up drove down the road and it still stayed on along with the door adjar symbol so I tried disconnecting my battery, but when i hooked it back up it came back on and then when i put the key in the ignition and turned it forward i finally went off.

What the #@%$

Any ideas?

 

This is a common problem with a simple fix. Figure out what door is causing the problem, spray latching mech. with wd40, work latch a couple of time and bingo your good to go. Switch is sticking and is mounted on the latchl

 

Do u men the latch on the extended cab door?

 

If that is the door you are having problems with. Mine was the drivers door that was causing the problem. I just stuck the plastic straw in an sprayed down inside the latch. Have you window rolled up to prevent spraying the glass. I would spray both latches.

 

thanks for the help zx250 it worked great no more light when im driving
thanks a lot

 

I'd call this problem the #1 problem on the Superduty - more than the 7.3's CPS, since it can happen to ANY Superduty. It's almost like it should be a Must-Read before registering on a forum, or at least the top Sticky. It's amazing how many times the question comes up still and is solved by the WD-40. Just when you think there's no way any Superduty could still have the problem, because you think Everyone has heard of the fix by now, a new fella joins and has the problem... and becomes a well-informed expert on the problem... and then goes on to answer the same question multiple times in the future.

 

I do agree about it being a major problem with a simple fix. I think you may be on to something with the "Common Problems With Superdutys" sticky on top of all the superduty forums. If I remember correctly, that little Door Ajar light is what brought me to FTE several years ago. I continued to "lurk" and read for a while before joining and eventually becoming a supporter. What would it take to try a Common Problems Thread. You got your door ajar, vss, brake rotors, couple of suspension questions, and I am sure there are more that are common to all superdutys. Moderators, what do you think?

 

We've got that Common Mods thread that's stickied at the top.... maybe folks can list some common problems and their fixes, briefly, as well.

A separate thread wouldn't hurt, either.

But I swear if EVERYONE who joined was made to or strongly suggested to read about the CPS and door ajar/dome light problem and their fixes before joining.... it'd cut down on SO many posts. However... maybe that's not necessarily a good thing. Like you mentioned about yourself, I'm sure there are others who came around looking for what we see as a simple/common problem, and ended up becoming full-participating members and great contributors.

Look at me I'm thinking out loud.

 

i fix as many rangers and explorers that way. i think that the problem is the supplier of the switches.

 

Don't forget the Expeditions and Navigators, I've fixed a couple of those as well. It's pretty much an all Ford truck problem.
