Sure - will try that. BTW: Are there two relays (one for each door) since passengers side is working fine?

The same thing happened to my truck, even the tail gate got stocked ( won't open ) WD 40 was the only answer! Make sure to check and spray every 3 months to keep 'em functioning well.

It's probably the fuse or the bulb itself, I guess you'll have to get into the doors!

Thanks, was having the same problem. A few shots of corrosion X and problem solved.

I heard that it is a magnet in the latch assy but was not sure without actually tearing it out of getting Ford to pop me a printout of the door latch blowup. [usually is a failed try with Ford here as they want to sell it to you instead and wont offer to much info]

An issue in the past few days with battery drain. Got my truck back from the body shop with a major door replacement. Since then, I have had a battery discharge issue and as of yesterday, the battery was kaput and a full overnight 10a charge fixed it. Alt is putting out [14.3 volts] and the battery charged to 13.2 volts. Dome light and Door Ajar light were staying on today so I removed the Relay 1 for the Dome Lams. Lights are off but is this still an issue with Relay 2??

Thread bump since the issue I registered about is being addressed here:

piggington, do you still have this issue?

Last week I left the doors open on my '06 F150 for a few hours in good weather to air out the smell of a spilled drink from one of my kids that I didn't notice fast enough. Ever since then the truck hasn't recognized the drivers side doors opening.

I noticed that the dome light does not come on when I open the door to get in, and that the radio does not turn off when I turn off the truck and get out. No door ajar notices either. The truck just thinks the door is always closed.

If I have someone in the passenger side their door will turn on the dome lights and turn off the radio etc.

So I know that I'm looking at the right area, is the sensor mentioned ITT the grey lever that goes into the cab frame that has a rubber gasket around it?

Thanks in advance,

piggington

It's been a while - my problem with door ajar/dome lamp was because previous owner had cut the door ajar wire! I fixed it and now it works again.

Thanks! 1998 F-150 same EXACT PROBLEM! Door ajar light stays on and interior light stays on for awhile. Tonight when I got home the dome light and bed lights would not go out. Took your suggestion and sprayed all 3 doors very liberally with WD40 and whala! Lights out!

Thanks a bunch guys!
