The switch on the door is going out. however the switch on that vehicle is located within the door latch. It is an easy repair at a shop. It is most likely on the driver's door because that is the most used door in the vehicle. You may also want to check the latch on the rear window because it will tell you the door is open when they are all closed. The switch malfunctioning will also lead to the lights staying on and therfore running down the battery. With a draw off the battery like that and the constant charging the alternator must do, the battery and the alternator will not last as long if you don't fix the problem with the switch.

WD 40 or CRC WHITE LITHIUM GREASE SPRAY in each latch for the truck/car and open and close doors. Repeat and this should solve it.

2006 Ford F-250, 6.0 diesel pick-up. Please, could someone tell me which fuse runs the door ajar chime please?

There is no fuse just for door ajar chime.

Door Ajar Warning Chime The door ajar warning chime warns that a door is ajar. The door ajar warning chime is a single chime with a 1 second duration. The door ajar chime sounds when the driver or passenger door becomes ajar while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The door ajar warning chime inputs are:
  • the ignition switch ON position
  • the door ajar switches
The output is the instrument cluster chime.

Door Ajar light

youve got a bad door ajar switch in one of the doors- next time it's on try slamming each door one by one til it goes out, when it goes out- that is the door that has the bad switch in it. spraying penetrating oil (NOT WD-40!) on the door latch may help-hope this helps and good luck
