automatic door locks + interior lights

I have a 2003 F150 supercrew -

My problem is automatic door locks are not working when you put the viechle in gear. Door ajar light says lit, and interior lights stay lit - plus the lights on the back of the cab say on.

I have tried disconnecting the + lead on the battery, that worked only one time to reset itself.

Does anyone have a clue what is wrong??

You probably have the famous sticking door switches. They are now located in the latch mechanism, and for some reason flooding the latch with wd40 seems to work for most people. Sometimes though, you have to take the door apart and replace the switch.
