Technican: Hello, The switch for this feature is part of or mounted on the door latch. Do your interior lights stay on also? Ford has a scanner that will communicate with the body computer to identify which door is causing the false door ajar alert. The part will likely be a dealer item. You may need only a switch but it can also be that the latch assembly is the only way it is serviced. Without the use of a scanner one would have to disconnect the door latch wiring connector one at a time until the alert goes away. Often the driver's door latch is at fault simply because the driver's door is opened/closed more than the other doors. How do you want to proceed?,

Owner: Yes, the interior lights stay on

Technican: All right. Then a door latch switch has broken and the closing of the door latch does not actuate the switch OFF. There is a slight chance that a wire has grounded out by wearing through the insulation. If this were the case the problem would be effected by driving the vehicle on a rough road that shakes the wiring harness. Not a frequent cause but can be found once in awhile if the switch proves good.
