VerifiedMost likely you have a door ajar switch sticking thus showing there is a door open even though they are all closed. There is a sensor mounted on the latch inside the door panel on all 5 doors. You need a ford scan tool to tell you which door is showing ajar.
Sometimes this remedy works. Spray liberal amounts of wd40 all inside the door latch. Then open/close the door a few times to free up te switch.
