door sensor, accessories/windows not working

sometimes my power windows and radio have no power when opening my door with the key on. then if i open and close a couple times it works, is there some sensor in the door? Anyone know if it's easy to fix and how to fix it? Thanks!

WD40 has been used with many, many Ford owners successfully. Liberally, squirt WD40 (no substitutes) into the door latch mechanism - open/close the door (do it to all doors) a number of times. Problem should go away. I extreme cases, the fluid may have to soak into the switches overnight. I have used this procedure myself and am a firm believer. After it starts working again, you can then lightly spray with a silicon spray.
