door ajar?

[1993shoguy]

well i pulled the sensors for the door ajar. I took each sensor out and unpluged it on all the doors. Then when i open the doors the door ajar light comes on is that normal or do i have an electrical issue?

i dont quite understand what you mean. was the light on before? why did you unplug the sensors?

yea, when you open the door the door ajar light is suppose to come on

My door ajar light is on when all my doors are closed and it is killing me. Do new door switches make this problem go away?
Each door switch operates the dome light when each door is opened. What gives?

 

[SHO SPD]

Yea, there is another switch for the door ajar.. Maybe one is stuck, try spraying the door latches with lubricant, maybe you can free one up

Am I fiddling with the wrong door switch?
It has me buffaloed. Each door switch does what it should when you open and close the doors individually. But when all the doors are closed, the light is on..... and boy is it bright at night.
I put WD40 on them (alot) but no change in the light.
Is tape my next move?

I think the door ajar light is controlled by the door latch itself. The pin switch is for the dome light.

OK, so that is what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for the tip.

Yep, WD40....lots of it. A general Ford issue. I have to do the door of my truck when it gets cold.
