You can try spraying W-D 40 into the door latch assembly as thats where Ford,for some unknown ignorant reason,put the door trigger...Fords great idea has caused this to be such a common problem and its not a easy fix if the W-D 40 dont work....

I wonder if it is possible to go to a junk yard and get the door switch off another vehicle with the regular button switch and drill a hole in the door of Excursion, install it and rewire it to that switch instead?

I think it would be easier to buy that little switch from Ford. I think they are $6. I am confused about the rear hatch door slamming..............I will start a new thread on it.

Can I just grab the wires to the switch and close the circuit on them and not worry about it anymore?

I don't post very often, but I've encountered this problem in 2003 and after replacing all the door ajar switches and the door ajar light was still on, I found that the wiring harness in the rear passenger side door was chafing against a sharp ridge in the door and exposed the bare copper in one of the wires. I wrapped it up with electrical tape and the problem was solved.

I have had the same problem with basically the same solution as Scott, slamming the rear doors, especially the drivers side, it is usually fixed, I also sis the 3/8" tubing in the door seals, and it seems the problem is far less frequent.
|
When you pull the switch we should spray down the trigger inside the lock assembley so the switch can make the contact inside the lock.
