I tried searching for this and found no results for the issue I'm experiencing, so I hope it's not been discussed to death and I'm just using the wrong keywords.

I now have a Supercab and have noticed sometimes, especially when going over hard bumps or around hard turns, that the dome light will come on and the 'door ajar' signal will buzz/light up. If I slam all 4 doors real good it's not as prominant of an issue so I'm just assuming it's because there is no b-pillar in place to latch on to for stability. I don't know if it is a safety issue, but it is a little disquieting.

Is this a common occurance or is my truck just worn out? Is there something that I can adjust to prevent this?

Thank you for any assistance/insight. Again, I apologize for my oversight if there are existing discussions for this incident.

 

Open the driver's door , in the area of the latch on the door itself spray WD40 into the latch. The switch for the dome light is inside the door and a known problem child.

 

i had a problem where if i didnt basically slam my rear doors closed sometimes either the top or bottom latch would not catch proper and i could hear the doors shaking and wat not. i always just make a point to dbl check that the rear doors are infact latched proper top and bottom after i close them just by shaking them. but ive never had a "door ajar" light or dome light issue like that.

 

Yeah I would start looking at the sensors. When they get dirty or worn they can read incorrectly. Cleaning them might fix it but they may have to be replaced as well.

 

Thanks, fellas

 

this.



its so annoying because none of my friends slam my rear doors hard enough and this always happens. i will pull over in traffic and make them fix it lol.

 

looks to me like the rear door latches need to be adjusted

 

x2.

 

yup ive done the same thing, i cant stand it i just pull over and do it myself lol

 

i do this too. if i can sense it's not tight, i redo it. once in a while i get the dinger and light show but most times i prevent it.

i always make em do it before we roll out. even my girl can tell when it's not closed properly and she redoes it before i say anything.

 

Mine did it when it was new, doesn't seem to do it much (if at all) any more. I just thought the doors were too tight and needed a quick break-in period. LR

 

Dude you're lucky you don't live in a northern state. In the winter the sensors don't work very well so when i hit bumps or go around corners i sometimes have to reshut all 4 doors(although you can usually narrow it to two by what direction you're turning). I should try to WD-40 them.

 

Lol, I don't let my friends open the rear doors for that reason. Sometimes I can get them adjusted and with DW40 they will close perfectly, but that never lasts long.

 

I've been lucky to only have that happen every now and then, but I always make sure to slam them.

 

my doors started doing this last year,my light will come on sometimes,and slamming the doors shut dosent work me all the time
