Door ajar on and interior lights dont turn off.

[Rachi1002]

I was told that my accessory relay delay is bad but how do you replace it?

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the stock 2002-2005 section.

It's not your relay. And if you do a search here, you'll find this topic has been covered about a thousand times already. It's a common problem and an easy fix.

You can follow these steps:

Or, you can try the easiest thing first, which is to spray WD40 into the latch on the door (what makes contact with the striker bolt/bar) which is where the sensor contacts are...sometimes these get sticky/stuck.

the WD40 spray worked for me. Mine was intermittent as well. Interior lights would stay on and I could not lock the doors or arm the alarm. Sprayed the latches down last year and no problems since.
