Hi and welcome to JustAnswer,

Thank you for the question and your patience. Should you still need assistance for information purposes only...

Initially, have the door ajar sensors (switches) been checked/cleaned/lubricated?

Customer replied 229 days ago.


Where do I dind the ajar sensors on this Explorer? When I hit the manual lock door control all doors lock and no indicator light comes on the dash indicatsing door ajar.

Suspect intermittent false triggering of the door ajar sensor/switch hence the described "...goes off at random..."

Consider cleaning/lubricating these door ajar sensors particularly the driver side with WD40.

Perhaps the video HERE could shed additional insight.
