Dome light staying on?

I just purchased a mint 1998 2wd ext. cab F-150 3 days ago and love it. Only problem is the dome and "door ajar" lights stay on 80% of the time. Then after about 2-3 minutes, the dome light will turn off but the door ajar stays on. The 3rd door is closed and so are the other 2 so whats causing this? And last night I closed and locked the truck, dome light turned off about 30 seconds later then when I woke up, the light was on again and. And another thing...... If all 3 doors are closed, trucks turned off, keys in the off position with the key in it, the warning chime or whatever you wanna call it will be on. I'm pretty stumped since I switched from GM vehicles .


Also, I opened the drives door after turning the truck off and the dome light did not come on.

Spray the door latches with WD40 inside and out. The maganet on the 'door ajar' switch/sensor gets dirty.
