I am a master ford tech and see this concern weekly ! more often then not its a dirty door ajar switch which is located in the latch in the door. get yourself a can of brake cleaner with a straw and a can of wd-40 from a parts store and install the straw in the brake clean now spray the latch liberally then close and open the door six to eight times,next spray the latch with the wd-40 liberally then close and open the door six to eight times, this more often then not will fix the issue. if not you may have a bad switch or a wire broken where the wires past between the body and the door (near the hinges) hope this helps
there is a lever on your door plug that locks and is broke or missing you can look on other door harness plug and see it mine is white and plug is black , wish i knew name or #of plug locking device lever cause i need one
The above suggestion is half assed and explains why we get such poor service from Steelerships. The Ford/Mopar sensor is a two piece unit that should be removed entirely from the door lock, opened in half, and cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and blown out with air in the bottom electrical section, and lubed with white lithium grease in the top section (above the thin rubber cover in the top). Before re-installing the door lock system and buttoning up the door, make sure and fully test the sensor: 1) once all the electrical connections are reconnected, press down on the swich (simulating the door opening). The light should come on, and if the keys are in the ignition, the "key in the ignitiion" chime should sound. 2) Inspect the little locking tab which locks the sensor into the door lock; it should look like half of an arrowhead (half a triangle), with a flat bottom. If the bottom has been ground away (upward), it is likely the cause of the problem, as it will no longer correctly maintain proper alignment in the door lock (replace). The part number for the 2004-2008 F150 is : 4L3T-10B997-AE, also sold as part number SW6129.
