my truck thinks a door is open, i had a problem with this on another truck, but my 99 f350 CC does not have the push in pins to tell the door its closed, i cant find any sensor for this, what do i need to check/replace, is there a fuse i can pull to get this off for the time being??

Try the low tech approach. Spray the latch mechanism liberally with WD-40 or similiar. Close the door hard several times and the problem is usually solved! I did this last winter in my truck and so far so good.

Good luck!

I had the same problem. WD-40 worked for me.

Yep. WD-40.

My cousin's F250 had that problem. I had him spray the latches with lots of WD-40... no luck. Couldn't find a fuse that would shut the lights off (interior overhead light and cargo light by upper brake light), so finally just pulled the bulbs. Any other ideas?

If the WD-40 doesn't work, remove the door panel. The switch is attached to the latch assembly.

Thanks, I'll let him know. He's the type that'll just say "Screw that, I'll just leave the bulbs out." Maybe I can sway him to try to actually fix it, though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif

Door panel comes off easier then you think. Just a couple of screws. The hardest part is finding them.
