So my door ajar light on the dash is always on, it's the passenger side door. I guess i need a new sensor inside the door? instead of buying a new sensor is there a couple wires going to that sensor that i can just short out so that the door thinks its closes all the time? Someones gota know

thanks, ill try that
 






Does anyone know how difficult it is to change the door latch switch? Also, has anyone priced the switch from Ford?
 






I have also had this problem on my 2001 ranger and someone suggested I spray WD-40 into the latch and it stopped doing it. Dont know if youve tried that but it might help instead of pulling wires.
 






i tried the wd-40 trick, worked for about a week then the problem came back. Doesnt work anymore.
