Im glad you mentioned the alarm randomly going off, Mine is doing the same thing, The dome light freaks out right after shutting the front doors, the locks keep trying to lock and it drives me nuts. So thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for the info. what I'd like to know is if do you leave it dangling as it is or do you have to attach it to someplace where something has to press upon it?
Had same prob with my 2000 Lincoln Cartier town car.( door ajar and cab lights staying on).rear driver door button was stuck and rear passenger button stuck..i guess these doors wasn't opened much..i used a knife to release the buttons without taking of door panels..sprayed them with wd 40 , good as new...
Jose, after trying the lube latch idea.. no deal.. with further investigation, it was the door jam switch that makes contact w/ the door - the switch was disconnected & didn't make contact.. I drilled a screw in to create stabilization, and voila'... that simple for me..however, watching these videos led me to that resolve. While you did it the correct way, I took a simple woman's approach (for now)
I'm having the same problem with the same year model. I just don't know which door it can be. I guess I'm gonna have to check every single door. I was also told that the lift gate in the rear can also be bad causing a door ajar error. I wish there was a way to disable the alarm system all together.
Hello Jose thank you for the video. I am having the same problem now with my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer which is basicall the same as the explorer. I see you bought a door adjar switch. Does it matter what brand you buy and the price of it? I see some for $30 and some that costs more. In your experience, does it matter if you buy the more expensive ones than the cheaper ones? They all function the same right? I know this is an old video but any advice would be appreciated.
Excelente tahnk you boss I will try that couse that's the same issue that I have in my mountanier lights are acting like a crazy on and off and the light said door ajar . Definitely I will try that thank you for sharing your knowledge I appreciate that
