I had a problem with the interior dome light and the "door ajar" light staying on; the fix was to lubricate the door latches with just a few drops of regular oil.

this was a real annoying thing, and several ford garages could not figure out something as simple as this.

The door ajar light stays on, sometimes, which I can live with. The dome light and door lights stay on all the time, and stay on for about an hour after the engine is turned off. It has drained the battery more than once. The last time it happened was right after a car wash, but before that was intermittent.

This has been a repetitive problem with this truck. The door ajar light and the dome light remain on for extended amount of time draining the battery and creating an annoying problem driving at night w/ the dome light on. Obviously a bad engineering job on the switch.
