Where are the sensors located that tell the computer there is a door ajar? I am having problems with mine, apparently. It will tell me there is a door ajar when all four are closed firmly. I keep having to remove fuse 26 to get the interior lamp to go off when I'll be away from my truck.

Can I replace the sensors or are they integrated into the body? What can I do to solve this problem???

 

OOPPPPSSSSS; my mistake.
I was thinking of one of my other vehicles.....

OR 4x4

 

No they aren't.

The door ajar switches are part of the door latch mechanism under the outside handle.

Do a search and you find that WD40 can help, but ultimately a switch replacement will fix it. Since it is a 4 door, you have two additional switches for the aft doors too.

 

Do a quick search. I had a topic a few months ago that went into detal on how to diagnose which one it is and ways to help try and cure it.

 

Maybe my search was a little too broad. I'll try again. Thanks Jason and Earl for not trying to make me sound like a newb as Offroad did.

if your truck is an extended cab try just slamming your rear doors. thats all i had to do.

 

DSTAS,

My apologies.... It was not my intention to make you sound like a NU B......
I should have waited until I had some coffee before answering your question.

OR 4x4

 

Thats probably part of the problem

 

i'm haveing the same problem i'll slam my driver side door and it goes off but it's pissin me off

 

mine was doing that for a couple days, but it stopped and hasn't done it since.

 

WD40..................... spray and go

 

When mine does it i just have to slam the back doors, whichever one i had open....

i fixed this problem on my truck about 2 days ago. can of WD40... find the catch mechanisms on the front doors, and the rear doors. havent had a problem since, and ive thouroughly tested it out.

 

Mine has been fixed for over 2 years now with WD-40 in it. Maybe you will need a new switch in the future, but I have yet to see one that has not been fixed by lubricating it.

 

I had terrible problems from mine... what fixed it.. slam whatever
rear door i had open...

now its just once every 2-3 monthes i have to reshut my door but thats
acceptable to me.

 

mine did that when i first bought it. i was pissed. so - i found this OUTSTANDING website (RF) and they helped me fix it - i was happy as a lark. so -- like they said - get out the wd-40 - find the rolly hinges ... spray the crap out of it - its gonna be messy - open and shut it a bunch of times to get it well lubed. clean of the excess. then u should be good to go. repeat as necessary!
