OK, I haven't found anyone listing this same issue, just close to it, so I'm in need of help.
2002 Explorer XLT - Power door locks stopped working, remotes do nothing, keypad on door does nothing. My "Door Ajar" light is on, but the puddle lights/interior dome lights don't light up when doors (any door) is opened. The radio and power works for about 9 minutes (then times out and turns off) once the engine is turned off even though the key is removed (so it is thinking the doors are all still closed even though the door ajar light is on when the truck is running). The door lock switches do not work at all on either door from inside at all.
I checked all wiring harnesses, fuses and found no broken wires or loose grounds, checked all door switches (including the rear hatch and rear glass switches) and found nothing wrong with any of them. I tried the WD-40 soaking of all switches with no help.
At this point it is just annoying to not be able to use the remote to unlock any door and we have to manually lock and unlock each door. Luckily the lights (interior and puddle lights on mirrors) are not staying on like other posts have stated - mine won't turn on at all. Everything else works fine (mirrors, defroster, windows, etc.)
