1998 Ford Ranger had the door ajar switch replaced 3 or 4 times in as many years. The door ajar is linked to the dome light. If the door ajar switches become corrupted or malfunction, the dome light goes on and stays on. The poses a safety hazard if it happens at night because there is no way to turn the dome light off while driving even though the doors are firmly closed and locked. The glare from the dome lights make driving nearly impossible, and could cause a serious accident if it occurs while driving at night with no repair facility close by.

The passenger rear door (suicide door) latches at the top and bottom. The bottom latch will not latch. As a result, whenever you close the regular passenger door it does not allow for a secure latch. The inside light and the ip light (door ajar) remains on unless you go outside and push on the door. If you hit a bump in the road, the light condition will reappear. This door has probably not been used more than 25 times since I purchased the truck new. The vehicle is a 2002 Ford Ranger supercab.

My door ajar light and dome light stay on after you get in and out of the passenger side door. From postings, this is a very common Ford problem that they ignore. Driving forward (reverse won't do it) will reset the light most of the time and make them go out. Sometimes you have to pull the fuse. Wd-40 seems to be a short term fix but the real problem is the door switch jams.

Consumer stated that the " open door" light will come on and the door would be closed. Dealer notified. Ph.

Door ajar light remains on and the vehicle thinks the door is open even though it is latched securely.

Door will close, but will not remain secure , it opens when consumer drives around a sharp turn. Please provide any additional information.

When closing the rear door using normal pressure it fails to close on the upper latch. This allows the main door to be held closed with only one-half of the latching assemblies. When driving in this condition the 'door ajar' indicator does not light. At these times I am unaware that the door is not fully secured.
