The cause of this is one of the door ajar switches is defective, the most common is the sliding side door, they look like pins that are spring loaded, they get worn and this creates a poor connection, the ford dealer can hookup a special scan tool to id which switch is the problem excactly.

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

I had the same problem. WD40 cured this in a flash! Be generous with the WD40 to allow parts to loosen and clean the "gue" that has built-up over the years. Several open and closings of the door should do the trick. Note that cold weather exasperates this condition. The best to you all in the new year!

The head lights and the fog lights have seperate fuses in the fuse panel under the dash. If the fuse is blown, you might possibly have a short. Hope this helps.

PB BLASTER LUBE is the best to use on these latch assembleys you can buy it at your local parts store. spray all door latches really good and open and close doors 10 to15 times this usually frees up the stuck switch
Sound like one of the door jamb switches is bad. Try taking a pencil or screw driver and pushing in on each door switch. Push the switch beyond the "flush" point to see if the switch is just not fully closing.
