Help...PLease,

The "door agar light" and the dome light stays on. I have checked all the fuses. Anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks for any help!
Pete

Sounds like the problem I had with my 95 Mazda/Ranger first when it was still under warranty and then again when it was about 5 years old. The "door ajar" buzzer would go on continually for 10-30 minutes (and the dome light stayed on). The issue was the switch in the door lock mechanism. Some grease took care of the problem.

The dealer replaced the switches under warranty when it happened the first time, but I suspect they were just padding their billing. After I found out about the lube problem and started greasing the lock once in awhile, the problem never came back.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not exactly sure that is my problem. Fortunately my "door agar" buton does not trigger a "buzz" sound. I don't understand why my problem has anything to do with locking or not locking the doors. The dome light stays on either way. Sometimes it goes off in 30 minutes (approx).

YOU KNOW....I THINK YOU HAD IT RIGHT! I SQUIRTED SOME WD-40 ONTO THE DOOR LOCKS AND THE LIGHT GOES OFF LIKE IT SHOULD.

THANKS BUDDY!

Worked on my 2002 Ranger also.
Just shot some WD-40 in the latch mechanism area (in the dark this morning) and all's OK.
