SOURCE: 95 ford windstar door ajar

These switches are inside the doors attached to the door latch assembles.If you know some one with a scan tool you can go into the body computer and see which one is showing open when all the doors are closed. The most likly one is the drivers side door or the two in the rear gate. I've replaced those the most.If you don't want to replace them you can unplug them and the lights will go off. Hope this helps. If you need more info let me know> Thanks Dan

It is a sticky sensor in the door latch mechanism. Spray it w/ WD-40 and follow up with a dose of silicone spray. Open/close doors several times and it should be ok. If you have a problem with 1 door the other 3 are sure to follow---DO THIS TO ALL 4 DOORS!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: Door ajar warning going off

something is improperly aligned in your door hinges, or something is wrong with the door switch. with the door open, see how hard it is to push the button that the door pushes when it closes. the fact that you have to put some pressure on the door to cause the fault to occur makes me think it might be in the door hinge. your car is new enough that it might still be under warranty. if you can i would take it back to the dealership. this is something you should deal with because it's a safety issue. if your door doesn't latch properly it could fly open in a collision. hope this helps.

SOURCE: My door ajar light and alarm continue to go off

Good Afternoon!

regarding your door adjar light....

it is not possible to disable the system as it is integral to the GEM module. this module controls several other features of your vehicle, therefore can not be disconnected. The lights typically come on as a result of a sticky switch for the lights. these switches are located on the back side of the door latches. they are not accesable without taking off the door panels. However, i have had success with lubricating the latches and working doors open and closed several times. If you look at the latch on the door itself, you will notice gaps near the corners, spray very generously, penetrating oil or WD40. take into consideration that gravity will pull the oils down, so spray up intop the little openings arround the latch, you are trying to get oil to reach the backside of the latch where the switch is located. do this to all 4 doors and you will more than likely succeed! the only other way to determine wich dor certainly is causing lights to come on is to see your local Ford dealer. only their computers are able to communicate with your onboard computer system to monitor which door is commanding the lamp on. I wish you luck!

ps...your 4 thumbs up is appreciated if i helped you

SOURCE: 03 Chevy Suburban says right rear door ajar when closed

Replace the rear door pin-switch if needed after testing proper operation.
It is telling the alarm the door is open all the time.
Most likely corroded terminals or wire.

Why does it keep beeping even though the doors are closed?

  1. Check to see if the fridge and the freezer are overfilled Over-stuffing in the freezer or the fridge or both of these compartments will prevent the doors from closing properly and which can cause the fridge's to set off the beeping alarm.
  2. Check the fridge door seals: Broken or damaged door seals may stop the fridge from closing all the way. This can also happen if the seals are dirty. Wipe clean the door seals with a soft cloth and warm and use soapy water and close the fridge doors. If the door still appears ajar then you have to replace the door seals.It is also quite possible that the inbuilt door-alarm which sets off if the fridge door is ajar for more than a few minutes has gone bad . This would need to be looked at by a qualified repair person . Until, you can call a repair person transfer all the food items to another cool place.
  3. Check the fridge balance: To work correctly the fridge must be placed on a levelled surface. Even a slight tilt in the fridge structure can set off the beeping alarm. Check to see if the fridge is balanced evenly.
  4. Check to see if the fridge exterior is warmer than usual: Check if there is adequate distance between the fridge and walls to allow for proper ventilation. If you have already ensured this and the fridge exterior still appears warmer than usual, have an appliance engineer to take look at the problem. If the beeping continues, switch-off the fridge.
  5. Check the freezer: If your fridge does not have an auto-defrost function then excessive ice-build up in the freezer can cause the beeping alarm to go off . If you see a lot of ice build-up in the icebox or freezer, switch off the fridge and let the ice thaw. Once the fridge is thawed, the beeping should stop.
  6. Have a repair person check the circuit board: It is possible that there is an issue with the appliance's circuit board. If so it will most likely need replacement.

How can i stop the door ajar alarm when door closed and off?

Hey friend, thank you for your post!

In order to stop the door ajar alarm from beeping when the door is closed you would need to reset the alarm. If you have done that and it continues to beep it could be an issue within the switch or panel of your Frigidaire freezer. I would recommend having a professional come out to properly diagnose your appliance. -Matt

Hello. I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The rear door/hatch no longer stays closed tight enough, so the door ajar light flickers on and off. As a result, my alarm goes off at random times. Could...

The better solution is to fix the hatch so it closes tightly. The latch hooks on to an adjustable loop. The hatch closes on to the rubber seal: if this is damaged, fix or replace. There may be some adjustable rubber bump stops as well. Lastly, check that the door ajar sensor is not loose.

Annoying alarm dinging until van reaches 17mph

This means one of the door ajar sensors is stuck. You need to remove the door trim panel and then the latch and then the sensor. Once out clean and lube it. There is a sensor inside every door.

Fisher & Paykel Fridge Freezer E402B beeping when door closed

If the cabinet is warm inside it is a failed circulation fan, failed defrost causing the evaporator to freeze up, or it needs a refrigerant gas top up.

Beeping is just an alarm. It may be because of the more serious issues listed above but can also be caused by a failing door gasket, the door being left ajar (kids are famous for this) or the door has been left open too long deciding what to have for dinner.

I hope that answers all 8 of you :>D
