2004 Merc. Mountaineer Electrical help

[2001GTTT]

Hey guys...My 2004 mercury keeps saying door ajar, even when im sure all the doors are shut. It goes away when i start driving for a few seconds. it also has the keypad on the driver door to unlock and lock it . the two bottom buttons (the ones that lock it) have quit working. Anybody know whats going on ? any help is appreciated. thanks guys.

Clark.

I had a 2003 Explorer V8 Limited and had the same issue .... the door sensor was bad.

you slam all the doors shut, including the trunk? You take any big bumps or anything that coulda warped any body panels etc?

I thought i had remembered hearing that this happens to these trucks often...thanks for the help. Were your keypad buttons also acting up?

Yea i know! when he stole it and got it stuck a few miles up a mountain he mustve screwed something up. I made sure all doors were shut tight, and no bumps or anything. I hope its just that sensor like mentioned above.

This seems to happen to almost EVERY 2002-2005 explorer/mountaineer

my mom's explorer does it and so does my uncle's. try to google it and you'll probably find some answers

I had no keypad issues with the Exploder. I think it's just a coincidence ... those things are plagued with problems as well.

wow lol. only problems i got so far is the door ajar light and the keypad not working.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

this is a big issue with fords. try spraying some wd-40 on the latch on the inside of the door and working it up and down a few times. they get stuck open so slightly that it kicks the door light but still locks.

ok found another weird problem. I discovered that if everything is normal and fine, when i turn on the interior light manually...it sets off the door ajar light...wtf.


And thanks Rob I'll try that.
