What is your question?
The 'door ajar' lamb is lit when every door is closed and we are either stopped or driving. The message is makes the car think a door is open resulting in all interior lights turning on both while stopped and driving. The interior lights stay on even when car is shut down and keys have been removed from ignition and car is parked in drive way thus running down battery.

Door ajar switch is part of the latch assem... Scanner will show which door is causing the problem through the Body Control Module... This is 'commonly' caused by dirt injestion and can 'usually' be cleaned out with a good spraying of WD-40 into the latch...compressed air will also help!
Does the warning light 'flicker' at all when you open then close any one particular door?
I use wd40 on each door latch and this will immediately fix this issue of the interior lights running when doors are closed or door ajar issue unless the door switch is somehow damaged.
Thanks! I will give this a try!
You can just spray the heck out of ALL latches then close/open the door several times, flush and blow latch out again until it starts working... Now it may be a failed swith that will have to be replaced.. Have had pretty good luck with cleaning though!
Thank you so much pushrod! Been trying to figure this out for a year! I did the WD-40 and air gun twice and work like a charm! I have my dome lights back!
Glad you got it fixed!
Pushrod. Impressed. I have issue 2014 Lincoln MKX "Door is Ajar" and "Transmission Not in Park" idiot lights with alert noise. Any ideas?
