Door Ajar
Ok this one is driving me nuts and it has only been like an hour since i noticed it. I was leaving my friends house earlier tonight when i noticed my cab lights and the door ajar light were staying on even after both doors were closed. I slammed both doors a few times with no change. I gave up and headed home and about 30 seconds down the road the lights clicked off. After i got home i tried opening and closing the doors with the keys in the ignition and the little ding alarm would not shut off even with the doors closed for about thirty seconds. I am very anoyed with stuff like this on my cars and i just want to know where to start on this one. It's a 1996 XLT 2wd.
Thanks- Cam

I tried this trick on my truck numberous times before giving up and disconnecting the sensor wire. i must have disoncetted on too many wires though. not my alarm doesn't work that tells me that i left my keys in or that my lights are on.
