2000 EXP. DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON..help
My 2000 Expy Door ajar light will turn on (yes the doors are closed) when driving down the road, along with the buzzer.
The door locks will then lock or unlock on thier own?
Anyone had this problem and if so, what is the fix?
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. It was the tailgate. I suggest checking it and the rear window. Open and close all the doors, the tailgate and window. Good luck. It seems dumb-but the same warning might be the tailgate instead of the doors.

Spritz all door latches, the tailgate latch and the tailgate window latch with WD-40. The door ajar system is triggered by the light switches that are incorporated into the latches. The switches can stick, and WD 40 can free them up for awhile.

Am I to understand this correctly....The door pins are located in the actual latches and not seperately on the door panels or columns. I have looked high and low and cannot find them. So all I need to do is to spray the actual latch inside and that should solve the issue.
