There is a plastic mechanism between the hinges that "reads" whether the door is open or shut.. Has to replaced to have the light go out. I am having the same problem with my explorer.. I am just going to ignore it..

Spray wd40 on the latching mechanism. That's where the interior switch is. Then open and shut the door a few times. Fixed mine right up.

WD40 worked for on my 2000 Ranger XLT. Note that on this model, the two rear doors have latches at top and bottom. In my case it was the bottom latch on a rear door that was the cause.

Probably a silly question, but does the door ajar being stuck affect the battery from dying faster?
