Door Ajar, Cant figure out which one! Interior lights stay on!

Ok.. The damn door ajar light stays on, and I cant figure out which door is sticking open... Is there a fool proof way to tell? The running board lamps, and the interior lights stay on... Should I just pull the fuse for the lights?

Re: Door Ajar, Cant figure out which one! Interior lights stay on!

I have had the same problem a couple of times....drove me crazy. I never did find which door was sticking. I took silicon and sprayed everything I could see on every door. If fixed my problem and it hasn't happened again in the last year. My gut tells me it is one of the rear passenger doors, but I am not certain.

Re: Door Ajar, Cant figure out which one! Interior lights stay on!

The upper tail gate latch switches usually are the most problematic on the Excursions. Spray both of the tail gate latches with some WD40 or PB Blaster and slam the gate several times. If that doesn't work move on to the next door and do the same thing.
