Default So frustrated. Need help!

Hey guys, just yesterday I was driving around and my "door ajar"dash light comes on along with the interior dome light and cargo lamp. Once I got home I walked the whole truck making sure all doors were shut. They were all indeed shut. My truck still thinks one of my doors is open. Any suggestions?

Spray some wd40 into the door latches on all doors. The door ajar light is inside the latch mechanism. It tends to get stuck. Spray it and open and close all doors multiple times. It worked on my truck. Mine had the same problem.

The WD-40 will loosen it up but I'd recommend spraying some white lithium or silicone grease in there.
