Consumer Description

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THIS MAKES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH CAUSES A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHEN INSIDE AND BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
