Door Switch

I was wondering where the door switches are located. Cause with my door closed and the key in the ignition it chimes. The bulbs are out of the lights cause they stay on. I was wondering the location of the switches in the doors.
99 F350 Extended Cab V10 6 Foot Bed.

I was also wondering how to set up my trailer brakes. They are wired and the controller is in but cant seem to get them to work.

Cool, I'm gonna try that too. Damn thing keeps telling me that the "door is ajar" and I go around like an idiot and re-open and close all four doors to no avail! I yell at the kids to leave the doors alone, but they look at me like I'm crazy. Gonna try a little WD40. Thanks!

Yup, common problem. Spray WD40 into the latch, the switch is on the latch itself.

"I was also wondering how to set up my trailer brakes. They are wired and the controller is in but cant seem to get them to work"

What kind of brake controller did you buy? Are your voltages good where you hooked the controller in? Are you using the 4 wire connector or the 7 wire connector? I suggest that you also ask this question in the trailer forum. Scroll down to near the botton of the forums.

Make sure all the relays and fuses are in the underhood box. You need 2 FOAZ-14N089-A relays and 2 30a maxifuses. These would have been in a bag in the glovebox with the brake control pigtail when the truck was new.

BTW, hose those door latches every oil change!
