Ford Ranger
My dummy light goes on continously. It's the "door ajar" light. All the doors are closed but the light goes on when I make turns. The annoying part is the warning sound. I can not find any sensors on the door. Does anyone know how to bypass this?

Re: Ford Ranger
Remove the speaker that makes the sound

Re: Ford Ranger
The sensor is located right in the door lock mechanism in my ´95 ranger.

Re: Ford Ranger
Hey thanks! I didn't even notice the number of posts.
I didn't think I had that many questions. |

Re: Ford Ranger
Hi DANNMARR, I think the door open warning is triggered by the light switch for that door. If it comes on when you make a turn I would look for the switch or wires being loose. Take care, BOBB

Re: Ford Ranger
The switch is in the latch itself, you can try adjusting the striker inward slightly to hold the door shut tighter, if that doesn't work you may have to replace the latch mechanism, since IIRC from the Ranger I worked on that had that problem, you can't get the switch separately.

Re: Ford Ranger
You could adjust it by buying my F-250 without a door ajar idiot bell.
