Problems

[SUPERxDUTYxV10]

Ok so leaving work today and my dash light for a door being open was on so got out and closed all doors. Then it still stayed on but didn't worry cuz I knew they were closed.

Then got home turned off the truck opened the door and stereo stayed on. Pulled the fuse and plugged it back in and still went back on. Then went to lock the doors and the doors won't lock. So the truck is in locked and I have the stereo fuse pulled out so it won't drain my battery

What's my problem?? Thinking of in plugging the battery and see if it resets everything.

Sounds like you have a short somewhere.

Ford uses a switch on the latch assembly for the dome light and door ajar functions. It could just be dirty. I would try blasting it with WD-40. You would have to remove door panel to access it. I would do all doors.

Lube your door switches, They get dirty and don`t fully switch, lube the latches and open/close the door several times, should fix it. Other wise the switch could be bad, they are a PITA to change out.

I just googled the problem and there is a write up on replacement.

Ummm guessing by the rest of the replies in the thread, it was probably the door ajar switch either being dirty or needed being replaced.
