Door Ajar Light Keeps Coming On

I have a 96 Ford Ranger.

It keeps beeping indicating that the door is ajar. When it really is not. This problem comes and goes. Also, recently, the dome light will flick on for a minute. Also, The headlights flicker on for about 10 seconds the other day, and then came back on.

What do all these problems mean, How do I resolve this problem?

This is a common problem with mid-late 90's Rangers. Simple solution is to thoroughly spray the door latches with WD-40 while opening/closing doors. The switch gets gummed up and does not operate properly.

Dealers are well aware of the problem and unfortunately you may have to replace the switches.

Yet another $.02 worth from a proud owner of a 2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 and a 1970 Mach 1 351C @
