The passenger door is showing on panel as "door ajar" even though it is closed. It will not lock and the dome light will not shut off therefore draining my battery too.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY

Body · Electrical System · Exterior Lighting
The rear driver-side door indicator switch has become unreliable. It now indicates the rear driver-side door is open a majority of the time. Because the car thinks the door is not closed, interior lights do not dim reliably and the doors no longer lock reliably. I don't get the option to do so until the car is well under way.

The door ajar light stays on even when the doors are closed. This then drains battery and leaves driver stranded. It also keeps the interior lights from shutting down because the system thinks the door is ajar. It doesn't matter if the car is running or not this happens.

The door ajar warning lights stays on. This results in the dome light staying on while driving for a short period of time or after the car is off. Drained the battery once. Also, the door can not be locked. On a much more serious note, the dome light suddenly come on while i'm driving on the highway. This creates a very dangerous situation because i'm unable to see cars around me very well. I went to the ford…

I bought this car 2015 in the late winter. From the time i bought it the drivers door sensor would say its ajar. According to the dealer it would be about $1000 to fix. Tonight my auto door unlock doesn't work and neither does the key unlock the door. I'm stranded 30 miles from home. This is totally unacceptable. I will be letting anyone who asks to be extremely cautious about any ford products.

My passenger door indicates that when closed that it is not. The dome light stays on and so does the dash indicator. It has also done it while driving down the road. Creepy, since i'm disabled and have hands controls to drive. So i have to pull over and reclose the door. Plus once the lights come on i can't see while driving at night. *tr

Door ajar issue. Already killed one battery. Also is a safety issue. I've had to drive several times when it's dark out and the lights inside the vehicle will not shut off. Not going to pay almost 500 dollars to have this fixed when i hear of tons of people fixing it, for the issue to come right back with a new part.

Door ajar warning message on while driving or parked. Causes interior lights to stay on 10 minutes before turning off when parked. Interior lights will turn on and alarm horn will sound intermittently when parked. I pulled the fuse for the horn relay, don't know when it will sound. I feel it's unsafe to drive without a horn. While driving doors do not lock in fact they unlock after locking them with lock switch. *tr

My driver side door indicator came on and at first it would take me a few times shutting the door for it come off. Now its to the point where it does not turn off and keeps the interior lights on until i drive forward a bit, then turn off. That's not good at night for sure. Now when my car is locked the panic alarm goes off all times of the day and night. I was driving down my driveway (thank goodness) one night and…

Door ajar warning light does not go off when all doors are closed...the interior dome lights remain on and does not turn off until vehicle is in drive and has moved more than about 250 feet. It is extremely dangerous at night time especially when a lit dome light makes it very difficult to see out of the vehicle. This weekend the battery died as a direct cause of this issue! Ford just issued a recall for 1.5 million…

The 'door ajar' warning light on my 2011 edge periodically comes on and stays on. The warning indicates that various doors are open. Sometimes it's the driver door; other times it's the left passenger door or the back gate. Each time the doors were closed properly, however the sensor thinks that the doors are open. This malfunction causes the interior dome lights and the exterior lights on the side mirrors to remain…
