Good morning to all!! Glad to apart of it all.

I have a few problems with my 2002 Ford Explorer XLT, hope you can help!!!
1) My Door Ajar light stays on constantly.
2) The radio turns off as soon as I turn off the ignition.
3) The driver side window fell into the door compartment and is non-operational.
4) I cannot operate the side view mirrors.

I have some problems, thanks for the help in advance!!!!!

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 2002-2005 section.
1. Check the rear hatch for the door ajar problem.
2. The radio should turn off when the vehicle is turned off.
3. Open the panel, and check the area where the glass connects to the track.
4. Check the fuse, ground connection, and the connection behind the switch.
 






Find the solution for "1." and "2." will be resolved. The radio shuts off because it thinks a door has opened.

3. Most likely cause is a failed window regulator.

4. The control switch can fail. Mine hasn't but I know of others that have changed it at least a couple of times. Especially with multiple drivers always re-ajusting.

I usually start here when looking for Motorcraft parts:

2. The radio should turn off when the vehicle is turned off.

no, there is a delay up to 10 minutes when power is turned off.

opening door kills accessory delay, shutting off power
 






1) Check your back lift glass not the whole lift gate
2) Radio cuts off because a door or lift gate glass is opened
3) Most likely your actuator is bad. Had to replace mine
4) check fuse
