Ford put the sensors for the hatch door by the latches. When they get dried out the door ajar light comes on. saturate the latches with WD-40 and your problem will be solved. I've had this problem for at least a year. I feel like I have a new car now.

I recently had put some equipment in the car. I never overloaded it so the doors were hard to close. The door ajar light went on, and stays on. Now my automatic door locks don't work, the interior lights will not go on when a door is opened. And when I use the key fob to lock the car, the horn beeps twice. I wish someone would e-mail me and let me know how to fix this. I have checked every door and they all seem secure.
