An other question

Where are the door sensors located?
The ones that turn the light and off when you open and close the doors.
It use to be switches on the old trucks and cars.
But on my 2006 F-250 I can find anything that seems to do that function, nor is anything mentioned in the repair manuel.

They are built into the latch.

Are your lights staying on?

I think it may be a dealer only item.

No, the dome light starts blinking and the chime that dings when the key is in the ignition is dinging. It does this after several hours of sitting in the drive way.
I have never had this before it's very strange it only begins after sitting for hours everything else is off.

Interesting. Try unplugging the connector and see if it still acts up.

A common fix is to spray the crap out of the latch with WD-40. I'd give that a shot before disassembling things.

Thanks Tom, MR CMK.
I'll try the WD-40, if that doesn't work unplugging both of them will be next.

FYI the WD-40 did the trick, since I sprayed the crap out of it no problems. Thanks again for the info.
