INTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DOOR AJAR DASH LIGHT & INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGERIOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALY AT NIGHT WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AND WON'T GO OFF. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPRED PROBLEM AND I HAVE BEEN ADVICED THAT FORD HAS A TSB ON IT. EVERYONE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A 97', 98', OR 99' F-150 EXTENDED CAB HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS.*AK
