So I picked up a new daily for the lady and am working through the little bugs.

1.) The driver door handle is very floppy. Basically it only pulls the lever when the handle is all the way at the top of the motion.

2.) When you lock the doors, the driver door doesn't unlock. It's moving, just not enough to actually raise the lock

3.) (Most important) when the door is open, the dinger goes off like a light is on or the key is in the ignition. But there are no lights on and the key isnt in the ignition.

The vehicle is a2001 explorer sport. Any help is greatly appreciated

Remove the door panel and check ALL linkages and clips first.

Door ajar switch inside the door latch may be sticking.
Lubricate the entire latch and switch with penetrant.

Thanks bud. For the door ajar, it only rings when the door is open like if you left the lights on or a key in it and opened the door. That would be due to the door ajar switch?
