VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM DO NOT GO OFF WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. BOTH DOOR SWITCHES HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND REPLACED AT LEAST TWO TIMES BY THE DEALER. PROBLEM USUALLY REOCCURS WITHIN A YEAR FROM REPLACEMENT. MILD HEAT/SUNLIGHT APPEARS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM. ALARMS CONTINUE TO GO OFF FOR 1-10 MINUTES AFTER DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS MAY BE MORE OF AN "ANTI-SAFETY" ISSUE, BUT THE AUDIBLE ALARM IS VERY ANNOYING AND MAKES IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
WHEN I START THE TRUCK, OR JUST PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION THE DOOR CHIME SOMETIMES GOES OFF AS IF THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. IT USUALLY WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SOMETHING DECIDES TO MAKE IT TURN OFF. I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT FOR ABOUT 970 MILES WHILE ON A TRIP OUT AZ. VERY ANNOYING. I WAS TOLD OUT THERE THAT THE DOOR SENSOR HAD OR HAS A MANUFACTURES RECALL ON THIS PART; IF SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET IT FIXED FOR FREE. *AK
