Torontoguy Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Reposting this from the 2011 section to get some more views. Cheers! What's up everybody I've got a 2011 Limited and just recently the Door Ajar warning will not turn off despite closing the door with good force or opening and closing multiple times. It would appear the Door Ajar switch is stuck in the "door open" position. Does anybody have any info on where to find or access this switch? Dealer wants $500 for the repair! Unfortunately I'm out of warranty as I do quite a bit of driving for work. I've done some quick reading about this issue and found that the switch is part of the latch mechanism? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks so much! Ps. Here's the Edge enjoying some Summer fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 It should be part of the latch mechanism inside the door. Try spraying it heavily with WD-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyEdge Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I recently had the same problem with my 2011. Mine was still covered under warranty. I don't know the cost, but I do know that the dealer had to take the inside door panel off to replace, and it took them 2-3 hours to do it. When I got the vehicle back, there was a big gap between the panel and the door, and I was not amused. I could stick my little finger in it. Drove a rental Nissan Rogue home that night while they tried again. It looks better now, but still isn't as snug as the other three doors.

fishx65 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I battled a 2004 Taurus for a year with WD40 before I gave up and replaced the whole latch. Not happy to hear that the Edge can suffer from this same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjonesva5 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 This problem just hit me, interior lights won't go out now with the door ajar light on. Have appointment to get a fix, was quoted if they need to replace latch mechanism $480.00 plus tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I just put a reed switch in parallel this weekend. Super easy to do, costs like 5 bucks and will be a whole lot easier to replace if it ever goes bad. But these switches typically last forever, unlike the Ford switch that was replaced previously. Just if you do it make sure you pick the dark green with violet strip, not the lime green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
