Open door light
My '04 Excursion door open light is intermittently coming on and not going off. It has good days and bad days... It will turn on while driving without a door being open and when it turns on we can open and shut all doors and it doesn't shut it off. Sometimes it will turn on and off several times in a row while driving. Seems like an intermittent connection or switch however the indicator doesn't tell me which door is open it's just an all or nothing light. When the lights on and I stop and shutoff the truck either front door will deactivate the ignition delay indicating to me that the door switches in the front doors are working.
Anyway I was trying to locate the switches in the doors and I'm wondering anybody knows where they are? or has anybody had a similar problem?
TIA

The real trick is to figure out what door it is that is causeing the problem. I found my own trick to that but it takes time. The batery saver will eventually kick the lights off, therby ignoreing the so called open door. What you have to do is at this point open doors, one at a time. If the lights come back on then you can eliminate that door as the problem one. Then start the process all over again. But what i would suggest is to start with the tailgat glass door first. That one seems to be a common problem. ONce you figure out what door it is then you can try to clean/lubricate the switch or do like i did just unplug it and forget about it till you want to pay for a new one.
