Is there a ground wire located near or in the front bumper of 02 explorer? I'm having problems with "Door Ajar" light flashing and interior lights coming on by themselves and did not notice problems until front bumper was replaced. I was told there may be a loose ground wire in bumper causing this. Thanks.

Hi, i just bought my second explorer its a 00 and i have this problem also. This problem is sorta a drag. it could be any of your doors, the wire might be broke. it could be the senors as well. thats weird tho a new front bumper and you suddenly get a "Door Ajar" light. well i hope this helps. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php? t=270081 Nick(:
