[dieselhippie]

the darn door ajar/open light is on and i cant get the dome lights or the box light to turn off ......i have shut every door several times.....took a rag and wiped off the rubber around door and still cant get the beepbeepbeepbeep lights to go out......

where is the fuse located at to kill the dome lights ?????


i need to go to work in the morning.... and was hoping to get help from you guys before i disconnect the batteries.......

please help....

thanks in advance for you help...

Before you disconnect...take something like WD40 and spray the crap out of the catch on the door, spray all around and in the catch..that is where the sensor is...my work truck do it all the time, and I spray and it goes away...dust and dirt build up in there.

[dieselhippie]

that did it ......at first it didnt do anything....and while i was looking for some contact cleaner the lights shut off.....

THANKS AGAIN !!!!!!!!

No problem....glad I could help.

WD40 works, but it will leave a film of the lubricant on the handles which in time will cause more dust build up....I used brake cleaner instead.

I have the darn door ajar light and dome light staying on A LOT now. The light will go off after the tach. is above about 1,500.

I tried spraying the door latch with brake cleaner but it did not help. What would you all recommend to fix this? Where exactly should I be spraying, I don't know what the sensor or switch looks like.

You want to spray into the latch on the door itself where it catches the B-pillars. If you look at the door, it is the thing that looks like a little claw in the door edge. The sensor for Door Ajar/Cab light is in that since the did away with door pins. Make sure you get both doors or all if you have a Crew Cab.

one of the down falls of the sd. Its not to hard to replace them. I had one and didnt feel like messing with it. I see a lot of them go bad.

what worked for me was a bunch of brake cleaner,the i sprayed with silicone spray it has not done it since.also anybody in cold climates if you spray silicone on the weather striping your doors wont freeze shut! also works for key locks
