HELP PLEASE!!!

I have a 2005 F-250 6.0, for the past few days I have been having issues, it started after I left my doors opened for around an hour while I was cleaning the interior. After I finished detailing it I closed all the doors, came back later and started the truck to find it say that all the doors are opened(all doors were fully shut.) I sprayed WD-40 in all of the mechanisms, unplugged and plugged back in the batteries and the alert went off. But now my automatic headlights aren’t working, no door is detected as opened when they’re all opened on the dash, the door open chime doesn’t go off, and the radio won’t turn off with the key out of the ignition and the driver door opened. I woke up to the battery dead, jumped it to let the batteries recharge, and less than an hour later the batteries were dead again. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you clean the outside before cleaning inside? Like water got somewhere?

Only thing I did cleaning wise was vacuum and shampoo the carpet of the truck, didn’t do an exterior wash but I did remove the front row of seats to make sure I got everything

You need to be really careful if you are trying to get right to the edge of the carpets under the dash. My mother cooked a body module in her old buick when she shampooed the carpets and sprayed water everywhere under there and an guy a knew that owned a detail shop had a few similar issues a couple times. I'm not real familiar with the SD's and what they have mounted low under there.

Have you run the codes to see if anything shows up? Sounds like it could just be sticky or faulty door ajar switches too me, or a fault in that circuit somewhere. They're located on the door latch itself inside the door, so not real easy to get at. I'd try more lube and repeatedly opening and closing the doors kinda hard to see if they free up before i dug any deeper.

You should get Forscan.

I Just started having an alternator issue on top of that, truck died on me on my way home so I took the batteries out charged them back up and put them back in, threw a new alternator in and it was working just like new again and then all of the sudden about an hour later it started doing it again(auto headlights not working + accessory’s not turning off) all three alternators I have tried today said it had a bad voltage regulator so I’m not sure if there’s a wire that runs to the cab or not that could be causing it. I haven’t used a obdii scanner on it yet though, I don’t own one so I’m kinda nervous to drive somewhere and end up dead again
