Replacing door ajar switch Ford F-250

[@Printerman62]

I just replaced the driver's side door ajar switch. Your video was a big help. Took about an hour start to finish. 2006 F-150, the dome light would not come on when the door was opened and the radio would not turn off. No open door red light on the dash either. Switch fixed it like a champ. Thank you.

My passenger door one went bad. I have amp steps so my step would never go up, cargo light would never go off, alarm would randomly go off in the middle of the night if I armed it. Used the exact part number at Napa after reading that this was the passenger side door, got it switched out after cussing a little trying to do it all and it fixed it. Thanks for the video, thumbs up from me 👍🏻

[@Salty_ju3vos]

Couldnt have done it without you. Thank you very much. I have the amp steps so imagine the steps open and closing constantly while driving.

[@jakebeedle450]

That part number is for the right front door BTW. Drivers side door is different (DJ6644) and cost more.

[@krazykay5899]

I've got the exact same boots that you have on. The video is super helpful. I just bought my f250 and need to fix this on my passenger side. Thank you for making the video

[@theshirefolks]

for anyone having this issue. I just tried spraying pb blaster into the door latches and closed and opend the door about 10 times all the way around my 1998 ford expedition. And it worked! my dome light shut off now

[@danielknott1505]

I wonder if the switch was backwards because they gave you the one that's for the passenger side.

[@bretlong669]

Thanks was a helpful video, I'm surprised it didn't come to your mind especially considering earlier in the video you mentioned your not sure if there is different switches from driver to pass door. But that's what yours was "backwards" you had a passenger door one. Which I'm thinking someone probably has mentioned this in the video, but again. Was still helpful video, I've replaced a handful of these, but never specifically on this gen Ford so I always like to watch a video anytime I'm working on replacing a part that I've never done on that specific video and see If there's a anything helpful I can learn to make the job quicker. Thanks again!

[@fredfarner9816]

Thanks for making and posting this video!! I would have never figured out how to get that switch out and back in without it.

[@jacobbalzer5064]

Thanks man awesome video. I didn't think I'd be able to get the new one in blind but it was actually pretty easy to find the hole. You've just feel around a lil bit ; )

[@sliceofitaleighpizzacheese8761]

Thank u! I was able to replace the switch, you're experience helped me tremendously!

[@A.C.71]

A year of the vehicle you're working on would be nice.

[@jasonklim27]

I was thinking the same thing, I'm just trying to disconnect mine so it doesn't ding, I have no idea what sane person would want this switch in working order lol

[@jeffhardin81]

​@jasonklim27 you can disable the door open chime pretty easily

[@FlyinRaptorJesus]

pretty clearly a 2011-2016 super duty. they all have the same doors 1999-2016.

[@A.C.71]

@jeffhardin81 that clears up everything. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Lol

[@A.C.71]

@@FlyinRaptorJesus oh, clearly. Wtf lol

[@joaobatistatapia8891]

Legal, muito bom o vídeo da troca do sensor da porta, vou trocar da minha 250 tb, legal a Sabiá acompanhando c se canto 👍. Brasil Sp.

[@billmoody9736]

I know this is a year old now - but you have the passenger side switch - yes there is a driver side and a passenger side - different part numbers - that is why the old one turned different than the new one

[@RaizARukis]

Seems like a passenger door sensor is better as you can replace without removing the latch because of the way it spins

[@johncraig406]

I was told the replacement switches MUST BE the same color to verify it is for the same year/model - thanks for this video, my 02 Excursion has a Door Ajar alarm but the ODBII reader does not tell me which door?

[@k_burns]

the part # DJ6644 is driver front the # he put in is for the passenger front just watched so you dont have to what he did make life easier

[@hoonyfan2924]

So you have the passenger side switch. They are color specific.

[@joebeezy9471]

Thanks for this!

[@goodboyringo9716]

That switch could be for the passenger door

[@johnnyb984]

I have the door ajar problem also. My windows won’t work; I’m thinking the sensor is breaking the connection to the windows. When I push any of my window switches they don’t work and the door ajar light comes on for the drivers door. Did you have any other functions not working because of the door sensor?

[@BASgarage]

No I only had the door ajar issue

[@johnniles7939]

i am having the same issue on my 2003, window will not go up. i have an extended cab and it looks like the wires are in the rear door. did you have any luck?

[@mikaelahartwick2658]

My truck won't lock from the inside when the truck is running because it thinks the door is open. As a 21-year-old female that's a safety issue for me.

[@Ratchet_head_garage]

@@johnniles7939 check the wires inside the boot that goes from door to cab. Probably a broken wire in there

[@ChrisGaglia-sr6xb]

Man, I sure hope I get the right door. If its the rear passenger side ima be very pissed! lol

[@deckboat21]

Can it be disconnected. I really dont care to be notified my door is ajar. My dome light and cargo light stays on and the dinger keeps sounding when the door ajar warning light goes on every minute or so.

[@BASgarage]

I’m sure you could splice the two wires together.

[@logancrowe2914]

I think I’m running into the issue to where my radio is not cutting off instantly when I turn the truck off because the door ajar switch is off

[@richardorourke6405]

You had a passenger side switch

[@Werdnasemajjamesandrew]

Thats a t25 all day your tools are worn out

[@Mauriciovargasjr]

They gave you the one for the wrong side

[@jpavful]

But my door isn’t ajar, it’s a door

[@30pvfd]

Screw that cut the wires twist together problem fixed

[@galesams4205]

That is the worst designed switch by fORD I HAVE EVER SEEN. rEMOVED CLEANED , REMOVED installed , ENED UP BUYING A NEW ONE.dON'T WAST YOUR TIME CLEANING.
