I'd first try spraying the door switch liberally with WD40.... This is a very typical Ford product problem - across all the Ford lines. Spray not onlty the affected door switch area, but all the doors as once it starts on one, the rest will follow. To do all doors may take a whole can of WD40.... and maybe 2 days. Spray...close/open the door a few times, let it sit overnight. If it is just a sticky switch, this will fix it.

The dash readout on my 05 tells you which door is ajar.

I know that.... but what I'm saying is to just do 'em all at the same time. Save the trouble of having to repeat it when the other door(s) start givin' you the light.

Spray Fixedd Mine too Bud


On my 03 the way I figured it out was after the Doom light would time out I would Open the Door

If I could open the Door After the Light TIME OUT and the Dome Light WOULD NOT Come ON theres the Culprit Thats the ONE getting Shut Down

Now I just spray them all Occasionaly open and close few times and spray again work it in and all Good

Wish I had all Cheezits Cool Tools
