Thanks for this video I had the same issue with my 2011 Lincoln MKX and this method totally worked saving me a lot of money.

I have a friend whose done light was starting on while he drove. I sprayed an anti-seizing spray in the door latches and opened and closed each a few times. When he drove this morning, the light isn’t on anymore 🙌🏾 Much appreciation for these instructions.

Omg omg omg. AMAZING. I did this with my 2004 santa fe. I was skeptical at first because i thought it was either the door switch or faulty wiring / ground or water damage to electronics from all the rain we were having here recently. My dash warning was on and dome light. Luckily there is bypass switch for dome but dash warning was still on and could have drained battery overtime. I first tried the drivers side door. Flicked the lock hinge down, sprayed with wd40, released hinge with inside handle and closed the door. To my big suprise the light on dash got dimmer so i knew i was in the right track. Cycled through open and close a few times and it went out completely. Came back again so repeated the spraying process and it came off again. Even if it does not hold up at least i know what the problem is. I cant thank you enough for this video. I am an advance diy’er and have looked at many different videos and tutorials from a wide range of auto mechanical topics, and this one was by far the most amazing. I never knew that hinge had electronics tied to it and never expected it to work on my vehicle since yours was a 2007 ford and mine a 2004 hyundai. Its the simple things that are the most spectacular and this video is up there for one of the most helpful ones on youtube. It works for many different cars guys. If you have similar problem, this might actually do the trick. Cheers.

I have been fighting this problem off and on for years. The alarm was driving me crazy. I followed these instructions and the problem was fixed. Many, many thanks!

Dude! You saved close to $200+ (that's what the mechanic wanted to charge me). Like you said, I got the WD 40, sprayed it a few times --- opened and closed it many times. Then went and opened and closed all the doors -- including the trunk. It didn't work right away, but after all that opening and closing, problem fixed! I cannot thank you enough!

I tried this suggestion on my 1999 Mercury Sable WAGONs 4 doors, Hatch & rear Window. It worked. Awesome. Appreciate Your simple & easy fix. Thanks.

IT WORKED! I saturated the driver door latch with WD-40 and exercised the door 6 times. NO MORE DOOR AJAR! For reference, it's a 2008 Pontiac G6. Fortunately, the 2008 G6 Dome Light will turn off immediately with ignition on or after being shutoff even with door ajar after about 5 minutes thanks to a parasitic load detection system in the Body Control Module.

I had already decided to try WD-40 tomorrow as I usually try simple things first....and I always keep WD-40 around. Glad to know in advance that it can work!! Thanks! 😁👍

Thank you, Adrian! Happy to be of help...

It works! Huge thanks for the video. Wear safety glasses as you may get back spray. Start with the electrical cleaner, then lube the latch itself (not the switch) with plastic safe grease. It is worth a shot on any car with a switch just below the latch. The switch is likely just dirty after many years. In my case, I ordered the switch, was ready to replace it ($40 in parts and couple hours of work) but then saw this video, figured I will try it. Aimed below the latch with electrical cleaner the best I could, since seeing the switch was impossible. It cured the problem nearly immediately. Followed up on the latch only with some white lithium grease. The new switch part is likely going back 😄

Thanks for this video I had the same issue with my 1999 Volvo C70 convertible on the passenger door. No courtesy and door edge marker lights after opening the door. After spraying some lithium grease in the door lock as in the video, all worked again. Thank you so much.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a class action suite. 1. Wide spread problem across several models. 2. Known to the manufacturer. 3. Fees range $250-$500 per door to fix. 4. Part of a safety system. Therefore putting the occupants at risk because the door locks will not stay locked due to the sensor.
