inside cab light

Is there anyway to adjust the cab light ? It takes 3-4 minutes before it turns off after I park & the cargo light is also on ? 02 F350

Does your door ajar light stay on while you are driving? If it does, spray your door latches real good with WD-40, closing and opening them a few times. The latch gets crud on it and the switch stops working.

Thats why. When you spray the door, the light will be fixed like Rick said.

Star, I noticed you have a 2002 model truck. Hopefully its just a sticking door switch like the other guys mentioned. But, if the spray does not work, take a look at this thread and see if you have any of these other symptoms:

WD-40 is ALMOST as good of a tool as duct-tape is

Remember the old adage:

If it doesn't move, and it should, WD-40 it.

If it moves, and it shouldn't, duct tape!

I like spray or powder graphite for locks and doors. Wet lubricants attract dust and gunk up the works.

I think the light is supposed to stay on for a few minutes. Never has bothered me. But I've noticed if I use my remote to lock the doors the lights go out instantly.
