Hey guys, my 99 Ranger's door ajar light is always on and it won't go off?, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem?, could it be wiring?, or a loose senosr?, if anyone has any input it would greatly be appreciated , thanks guys.-Ryan

Smile I had same problem

Sprayed WD-40 into door latch. The switch is located in the latch.
May need to work door several times and spray again

It is most probably the switch which is built into the lock mechanism. I used wd40 and got mine working again.

buy stock in WD40 cause even after a while the new sensors will do the same thing.....or you can take out the dome lights and put a piece of black tape over the door ajar light like I did

I had same problem, and my dealer could not find it. I adjusted the lower, door latch striker plate (by trial and error) and I have not had problem since,for two years.

Just spray them. I had mine replaced, they started doing exactly the same thing with-in 6 months. I've sprayed with WD-40 and have gone a year. Just finished doing mine for the 4th time last weekend...
