Ford Ranger, 1999, door ajar warning

I had a 95 ranger, same problem.  Anyway spraying dw40 upward in the latch
worked. The sensor was just above the latch on the ranger.

It is a common problem with many fords so just do a search on google. You'll
have no shortage of answers.

Pah

If it's a 4-door and a rear door that keeps the light on then try a little
more force closing that door. On my 2000 Ranger the rear doors appear to be
closed and latched, but not toght like they should be so the light comes on.
You can tell pulling on the door a little and seeing it move a bit at the
bottom. Slam it good and it latches tight, doesn't move and the light stays
off. My experience anyway.

"the switch is in the door latch.
 spray it with wd40 inside the latch and open-close the door 5-6 times, then
repeat the spray and work the door.
this will clean the switch

Thanks all.  I'll try the WD-40 and I now know where the switch is located
if that doesn't work.  ( I should have included that's it's a 2-door. )
