Electrical Problem....
Hi guys, I'm new to this site and I have a problem with my 1999 F-250 7.3 Powerstroke. My door ajar light stays on as well as my dome light. I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks

The switch is sticking in the door latch.
Some people have cleared it up by spraying it with a penetrating oil.

Yep, spray them all down with WD-40 and most times if fixes them. Worked for me over two years ago with no more problems.

Welcome to FTE Alex. As said before spray the latch with WD 40 and open and close the door a few times.
