[@rebekahdobson2681]

I have the same exact car, color and all, Same problem too. Thanks for this!!

[@danieldavis5242]

Thank you the interior lights was injured me by the rear hatch every time I hit a bump on the road they came on and off to find out my hatch is shut but the lights are keeping going on and off

[@liamgriffin9498]

My 2000’s excursion battery kept dying cause the lights came on when all doors were closed. This helped so much, thanks!

Nice! Great fix, I needed this for a while!

[@EZ-Flo]

Gold thank you

[@robertoliver2728]

Great advice! Worked perfectly. I only wish I had read the comment about removing the latch torque bolts and unplugging it from there, because unless you have really small hands you're likely to get bloody otherwise.

[@timbuss1158]

Thank you this is very simple and practical I've been looking for exactly something like this!

[@peterstone8701]

You’re a lifesaver. Thank you.

I have a 2003 and this didn't work, that is just unplugging the connectors. What I did with a small strand of wire was to jumper the plugs. That seems to do the trick. I think only one sensor was broken so going to just jumper that one. Hope this help others with later models.

[@jethrobodean8585]

Jumper the plugs?

[@GarageProfessor]

@jethrobodean8585 yes, their is a plug for the sensor, I just used a wire to make a connection across it and taped it up

[@gagefixeseverything]

You rock man. Thank you

[@matthill1163]

With my big ole mitts I couldn’t pull the plug from inside the channel. I took the three torx screws from the latch and got it that way. Much easier and no alignment issues reinstalling. Thanks for the video. Problem solved! 👍

[@stevest1300]

No problem pulling the whole latch out, unplugging the switch, flooding the whole assembly with contact cleaner then WD40 then a liberal injection of spray lithium grease. Plug everything back in and no more dome light problem.

[@KJCX-xh2td]

Nice, I’ll try this on mine but why not just buy a new sensor for $10?

[@sethavenhaus]

Solid ass video, super helpful thank ya sir

[@jefftack3461]

Tried this to no effect. Mechanic said doing this disrupts the closed circuit such that the problem would never resolve. I have a 2003 model so maybe the system was changed between 2000 and 2003? If not, this is a bad solution that did not work for me. There are 8 latches with sensors on excursions. Mechanic is advising latch replacement as the sensors seem to be doing what they are supposed to do. Hope this helps.

[@arthurmccutchan7000]

wd 40 is a bad choice for a switch i would recommend dry silicone or something dry and not conductive dry because you dont want the lubricant to get more dirt to stick to it and a conductive one can interfere with switch internally

[@fortunatedad7695]

Did you try cleaning out the latches really good with wd40 then spray lithium grease? I just bought this excursion this week and stumbled upon this problem. It seemed that the latches were just really caked with dirt but after cleaning and lubricating, the door closes now. Worth a try. Thanks for the video

[@LandsharkLark]

Yes, as stated in the video I tried all the common tips and tricks, but none worked for me. Luckily this way worked for me as it was a last resort. Thanks for watching🤙🏽

[@fortunatedad7695]

@@LandsharkLark ok cool. Just wanted to make sure because I had to do this a few times and not just spray it in like in other videos but clean it because the dirt was so lodged in. 😜

[@jthekid-i9r]

I tried this and it didn't work for me. I'm not sure what else to do but disconnect my battery. Most cars have some kind of button on the door but I cannot find anything on my excursion

[@Mr4Diesel]

Worked for me too ! Thank you Sir

[@LandsharkLark]

Good to hear! No problem

2000 ex diesel fuel only you know it's a 7.3. I'll take a v10 for easy of use but I do appreciate a diesel Exs.

[@abrhaassad5516]

Nope didn’t work, any alternative’

[@LandsharkLark]

Yes there are several videos on youtube lubricating the other door sensors. This video is a last resort when those videos would not work.

[@brianlojeck]

same 3 steps for any problem: 1: try to clean it 2: try to remove it and hope ti works 3: replace it.
