2005 suzuki XL7 door ajar light

Anyone please help!!!!! Today my 2005 XL7 open door indicator light came on and will not go out. My interior lights had to be manually turned out as well. I have checked all the doors and they are closed tightly. Any suggestions?

Hello! Maybe I am posting months after the question was posed, but today was my first visit to this website.
I believe the simple on-or-off rear-door (tailgate) sensor switch is the culprit. If it is not adjustable, gluing a piece of rubber to its plunger knob should do the trick. Good luck, and please post your result.

    Hi! I am also posting months after your suggestion regarding the tailgate light switch. I glued some rubber to the plunger knob and voila! No more open door light! Thanks!

Probably one of the switches located on the door jams that tell the computer the door is closed has failed or become disconnected.

2005 X-Trail interior lighting diagram

If you open other doors besides the driver door do the lights work? If so the door ajar switch is defective in the driver door. Also can you turn on the interior lights from the headlight switch control?

My interior light and cargo light will not go off, even when my door is shut.

If the door ajar indicator on the cluster is also on, might want to soak the door latch with WD-40.
The door ajar and interior lights are turned on when the door latch is open. Some times the switch gets stuck, and a good soaking of WD-40 will release it. The door latch and the switch for the door are the same unit.

Door ajar and interior lights dont go on when door is open

THE SWITCH MIGHT BE STUCK! OPEN YOUR DOOR, LOOK FOR A BLACK ROUND SHAPE BUTTON AND GRASP THE ROUND EDGES WITH YOUR FINGER AND PULL OUT AND SEE IF YOUR DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON, ALSO CHECK THE FUSES AND LAST CHECK YOUR INTERIOR LIGHT BULB. GOOD LUCK!

1997 ford exibition xlt my interior light and running board lights wont go off along wiith the door ajar light on dash board. please help

Take some WD40 and open the doors and spray a liberal amount into each of the door latches. Then open and close the doors firmly several times. This will work most of the time to unstick the ajar switches.
