Door Ajar
I have a 2000 F150 SuperCab the door ajar light comes on every once a while even though the doors are closed. If you unplug the battery to kill the dome light and plug it back, the light stayed off. Today I unplugged the battery, opened the passenger door then closed it the light came on and stayed on again. Does anyone have any ideas?

This problem is usually due to a switch sticking on the door. I sprayed my door latch with a lubricant and problem never came back. I think there is a plunger in there that sticks and causes the door adjar light to stay on and the dome light to stay on.

My F-150 was doing that a couple of years ago. I sprayed the heck out of the door switch with WD-40, no fix.
They one I accidentially bumped the inside door panel and the light went out.
I took apart the door panel and noticed that the speaker was a little loose. I tightened up the bolts and the light hasnt come on since. I dont know if maybe the speaker was shorting out on the metal inside the door or whatever, but I know that it did fix the problem.
