    Explorer electrical issues

    i know its not a stang but my parents 2002 explorer basically had a stroke haha. it is having many electrical issues and im not sure what is causing it. here are some of the problems:

    - drivers side electrical seat adjuster that moves seat forward, back, up, down, etc. does not work any longer

    -door locks on drivers side do not work when car is off, but does work when car is running

    -it keeps saying 'door adjar' on the dash while car is on even when i go around and slam all doors and trunk. it also keeps all interior lights and outside mirror lights on and beeps twice when you lock it indicating that a door is open (only beeps once normally)

    -the radio used to stay on when you removed the key until you open a door, it no longer does this. as soon as you turn the truck off, it turns the radio off since it thinks a door is still open



    does anyone know how to fix this? are there sensors for the doors that detect open/close that may need replaced? how about the seat adjuster and door locks not working? could this be a bad ground? if so, where do i look for any grounds???

    if anyone can help me out it would be great thanks

    my 02 exploder limited had the door adjar issue, there is a sensor on each door clasp that gets stuck, I used carb cleaner and an air line to free it up and it worked great. spary into the latches you'll see all the junk run out the bottom of the door

    HAHAHAHAHHA Funny. Same here. I told my father in law to run it into the pole down the street when we had that last big snowfall. Its the door switches causing all your problems. Thats nothing though. HAHAH It gets better, trust me. Sell it now while you can!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gremlins get bigger and badder.
