DOOR AJAR PRoblem

[slow_poke]

HEy people, First off I apologize If this subject has been posted before I am just really fustrated about thsi issue. and Don't see myself paying teh dealer to fix when i think it is something they should fix for free since I find ALOT of explorer owner are having the same problem Vehicle 2002 Explorer XLT V6 My hit and misses, I tried the WD40 method with no luck I even took every door panel off and all sensors "seem: fine not stuck at all. One thing i believe It is a short somewhere in the wiring. Because around the same tiem my passenger rear window stoped working. When I trouble shoted it I found the Ground was bad So that, temp ( Since I cut the wire and grounded it to the door frame myslef) But I still ahve my dooor ajar issue. It happens Interm. and above 50 mph I have to drop below that to stop it i say it stops 3 out of 10 times. also makes my dome light come on. and my alarm to go off when It is parked. So in order to shut that off I turn my curtisy light swith off(the light dimmer) this is why i think it is electtrical. Also after a few miles I press on my brakes and My locks lock automatically So maybe If i follow the schematics for that I might find a brake in the wires? I just need the schematics. If anyone can help me obtain this would be AWESOME!. So this Door Ajar Issue I belive is caused by an electrical problem. since again turning the dimmer off makes the alarm work, but I still have the chime and door ajar light on. and randomly after drinving a few mile pressing the brakes does it work properly. again If some one can help me get schematics that would be more then appreciated. SO i can trouble shot further, I dont trust the ones sold at autozone much and cant really spent cash on buying a book of a vehicle I will end up selling sicne it is getting me more headaches then pleasure. I jsut want the next owner not to get a bad taste from our transaction

I have been fighting with this problem for years, what I found out, an hour ago (maybe a fluke) I hit the lock/unlock button a few times and the light went out, if thats all it takes , I'm going to be good with that

I have had this problem for a while. Ford want to charge $350 for the door sensor parts. Talk about $10,000 hammers. I am probably forced to do this since it is very annonying.
