I bought a 2002 Ford Explorer in June of this year (2005).  When I
first got it every once in a while the door ajar would come I would
get out and open and close every door and everything would go back to
normal.  So then on November 11, 2005, the door ajar light came on and
has not gone off since.  So this causes my interior light to stay on
for a few minutes when I start driving.  So I called my buddy who is
an assembly line worker for Ford and told him of my problem  and he
suggested that I just disconnect and re-connect the positive wire on
the battery so I did that and it solved the problem for about an hour.
Then the problem got worse.  Now the door ajar light is still as is
the interior but now the lock button does not work on the driver’s
side door neither does the buttom that adjusts the side view mirrors,
the car does not lock when i put it into gear and start to drive and
and when i turn off the viechle the radio automatically turns off
instead when I open the door like it is supposed to.  I know some of
these problems are not major I just want to know what is wrong with my
truck, any help would be appreciated.
