Door ajar indicator

This morning, my 2011 F150, told me that my rear driver side door was a jar on the center console. I opened and closed it several times using the inside handle and the outside handle. It affecting the battery since the interior lights stay on. Is there a way to reset / clean the sensor so that I don't have to take it into the Dealer?.. Their next appoint is mid next week

Thanks Jeff

Try some contact cleaner sprayed into the latch. Open and close the door a few times and see if that clears it up. Don't be afraid to be liberal with it.

Pull back the rubber boot covering the wiring harness from the body to the door. It's likely there's a broken wire in the loom. Very common and easy to repair.
