My 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee won't show that any door is ajar at all. What can it be?

It seems if any doors are opened, the info center does not show it anylonger. Also I recently was pulled over for a tail light that was out, Again the info center did not let me know this. It has always indicated these things in the past. Could anybody give me an idea what to look for & where?

    Found the problem, There is a fuse in front kick panel to the right of the front passengers feet. check the fuse that is labeled " flip" it runs the lights out module for the info center. I was told it may affect the open doors too. it also stops the rear glass hatch from opening & the rear wiper from operating. I went nuts trying to find a possible bad ground when all this in the back quit working. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee -driver door shows ajar, dome light is on

remove the door switch, clean and reinsert. It switched ground to a black cable, which goes to the PCM.

I cannot close driver side door on my 97 jeep grand cherokee, drivers side is in locked position, door will not close

Just a suggestion as I have seen this before--with door open pull up on outside handle and in door there is a curved latch that can be pulled open with a screwdriver---the hook is likely closed and with opening pressure on the outside handle you should be able to snap it open so the door will close properly---often happens if someone snaps it by accident closed (the hook latch).

97 Jeep Gnd Cherokee showing 'rear door ajar when liftgate closed

Inside the latch is 2 strips and a pin. the pin pushes the strips together. these strips bend and corrode the latch might not be turning to fully closed then the pin won't close the contacts. Spray Graphite lube in and work the latch with a screwdriver There is a plastic coating that might have worn thru on the latch finger The sensor is there for your safety Caravan's would eject passengers if latch is not secure. But that said bypass if all else fails.

94 jeep driver door ajar on info panal, it is not the door switch.

It has to either be the switch, a short to ground in one of the wires that goes to the info panel or a bad info panel. I'd say the most likely is the switch, I think they're built into the door latch assembly.

Inside lights want go off after Ignition is turned to off!

Does the door ajar light usually come on when the lift gate is open? The switch might be bad on it?

Dome lights intermittently flash on and off in a 1996 Jeep

If it has automatic or a domelight that stays on for a while after you shut the door is on a timer relay and that is probably getting bad. As far as the door ajar message there is a switch in the door jam, look and see if you see it. Take wd40 and try to soak the switch try to get it inside the switch.If its incorporated in the door latch spray back inside the door latch real good. Open and close the door several times and see if it works then.
