Default Gem?

I have a 97 f150 and lately the door ajar light dome light and door light and bed light will stay on when all doors are shut and I get the door alarm when the keys are in the ignition with the doors shut and the truck off any ideas? I was thinking the gem but I would like to try easier stuff first

When mine acted up like that I blasted the **** out of the latch and that black bar on the front of the door that goes into the cab stuck the tube behind tje rubber piece and blasted away, also this happened after it rained for a week so there was a lot of moisture in the air and the nooks and crannies of the truck, hope this helps

Had the same issue on my B2500, and WD40 solved it! Must be a Ford thing.

The 91 uses a different door switch that is easily replaced.
