Hey all washing up the excursion today and found that the interior lights were not going off all of the sudden. I am thinking it has to be a door switch..the only one I was in is the driver and rear hatch so I am thinking its one of the two that has failed. The door ajar light is also staying on!


My question is where are they located? I looked around the door and could not find anything. Are they inside the door/hatch?


Thanks

It's the rear hatch. Spray around the left latch. Next up is to start shutting the rear harder.

They are right behind the door latches in the door itself. In the rear hatch, they are right behind the latches on each side. I had the same problem. Sprayed carb cleaner to get the gunk off and then some silicone lubricant. Just a little squirt does the trick. I did all the doors just because.

Good luck,
Stew
