11 Edge And driver door ajar

[lowesdell]

Does anybody know if there is a TSB for the Driver's Door open/closed switch? About half of the time I get the alert message of door ajar and I need to open and SLAM the door closed. I thought I saw somewhere on here of people having problems. I haven't looked, but does the switch come out easily? Easily replaced? Would a good shot of contact cleaner help?

I know on a windstar, heavy spray of wd40 into door latch opening helped.

I just went through this with mine and had to have the latch replaced.

I too went through this. The WD40 wasn't cutting it anymore. Had to have the latch replaced...

Just had my drivers door latch replaced on my 13 SEL. Under warranty of course

Lowesdell,

 

Please check out this post and make a 10 min phone call to report it. A few people have gotten it taken care of under warranty but most either shell out a few hundred dollars or deal with it by spraying lithium grease in the latch. Mine happens mostly when the temps are below 50. If it does become a recall then those that have paid to get it fixed will be reimbursed and those of us living with it can get it fixed. Good luck.

In the same string as Lowesdall posted above I described a more long lasting fix than spraying in the latch mechanism alone and the potential problem. The sensor is deep inside the latch so a good way to get to it is to remove the inboard top screw and spray though that hole which goes inside the latch to the switch.
