I own a 2002 Ford Explorer, the problem is: the door ajar light comes on then the alarm bell chimes goes off, the doors unlock and lock constantly, the overhead light comes on. I tried to open the drivers side door and shut it, sometimes it would quit. So I put a new sensor in the door, but it still does it. Some times it locks and unlocks without the door ajar light coming on. Also the daytime running lights blick on and off, on and off, I had to press the emergency brake down on notch to make this stop. Would doing this cause these other problems? Need some help, the wife is wanting to trade, and it's perfectly good ride except for this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

We have the same problem with our 02 Explorer...we are in the process of taking apart the door and cleaning all the guts, then we are going to spray with WD40 as most others who had this problem have done with success. Will let you know if it works, because our next option is replacing the sensor, but it appears that didn't work for you, so here's hoping WD40 works! Also, how did you know for sure it was teh driver's door?? Maybe try cleaning the passenger door sensor and latch...

We had the same problem with our '02 ford explorer. My husband went around to all the lock mechanisms and sprayed them with WD-40. That was about 2 years ago, and we haven't had the problem since. He did spray everything he could see really well. Quick, easy fix!

My 2000 Ford Exp Limited Edition is acting up.

1) power locks keep triggering when I hit a bump

2) low 4x4 wont disengage smoothly anymore. I have decided to never use this again unless im erally stuck in the mud.

3- i like this truck but its kind of glitchy. i would be weary of it and have a spare set of keys on you

I had the same problem... I took it in and the wire that attaches inside the door was broken.. simple fix.
