    How To: Fix the Door Ajar Problem

    You need to read the posts again. That is 100% a broken wire in the driver's door tunnel. Maybe more than one. It is a 20 to 30 minute repair even for a novice. All the instructions are on this site. The Ford Motor Company doesn't have the instructions as clear as this website. You...

    Doing the wire repair inside the door is actually pretty easy with the help of this site. You will need black electrical tape; wire strippers; 10 mm socket with ratchet with extension (3/8 drive) however 1/4 drive will work. The black wire is the heaviest however there is a blue wire the same...

    Door Ajar- WD40 versus Liquid Wrench I have used WD-40 and I have used Liquid Wrench. The LW lasts a lot longer. Just had the transmission pooch out on mine. $2236.15 CDN later included a new harness and flywheel. Also you can get a rebuild kit for the front driveshaft for the CV joint.

    Door Ajar- WD40 versus Liquid Wrench I tried the WD-40 a couple of times and it didn't last long.

    How to remove front drive shaft?

    Front dive shaft Thanks everyone! I think that is what I will do. Just take it out until I grab a new one. My wiring system does some weird stuff. One day one thing will work the next it doesn't. I will check the wires coming through the driver's door. Happy July 4th!!

    On the dash of my 2003 EX Eddie Bauer Limited there is a switch to the left of the steering wheel that has a light that says "OFF" If I push it twice the light goes out for awhile. I have read the manual a number of times but can't find what it's for. There is a "P" on it with arrows or...
