I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge with extended cab. Even when the doors are closed, the dome light stays on and the door ajar light is on when the engine is running. When the engine is stopped and the keys are in the ignition, the warning chime is activated.

Anyone experienced a similar problem? Is this common with the Ranger? What do you recommend?

We have the same problem with our 2002 Ford Ranger did you ever find out what is causing it.

I also had the problem with a sticking switch on my 2002 ford ranger.

The switch is located in the door latch, I sprayed wd40 into the latch and solved the problem.

I also have the same 2002 with Extended Cab and it does the same thing. Like clarence said, it just comes and goes. I haven't gotten it checked. I'm also getting water in my door that sloshes around when it rains. Anyone get that one? I think I am going to try replacing the black bumper pad that goes between the door and the body.

I have a 96 ford ranger, the ac was converted to 134 last year when the ac stopped working. Now the ac has stopped again. It will not accept freon. I am thinking electrical. Anyone got any ideas for me??

I have a 2001 Ranger Extended Cab. The door ajar light comes on when I put the key in the ignition during very hot weather. The bell sounds for a while and then may go out. After I start the engine, the dome light may stay on for a while and the door ajar light may stay on for a while but the bell quits.

I've tried the WD-40 to no avail.

The latch on the passenger side rear door no longer works - period! Dirt and everything else has gotten in there and corroded the latch and I am trying to replace it. Has anyone done that? Do I have to order this part or does the dealer/retailers keep these in stock? Did Ford ever do a recall on this?

Had a great Ford F150 that I sold several years ago. When I needed to get another truck, I bought a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT to keep the gas costs down. Since it's paid for, I'll keep it until it dies. But I've had so many problems with this one, I Won't buy another Ford.
