I sprayed the door locks with PB Blaster then silicone spray. Whooo Hooo. The dome light went out.

Thanks a ton to Tim for the suggestion.

That is the exact question and problem I am having with my 98 F150. First thing in the morning me, my cup of coffee, and my P-B BLASTER will meet with the drivers door! This site is awesome and I am glad I found it. I am going to tell all my buddies to check it out!

My dome light and chime stayed on until I pulled the fuse, now my wipers, speedometer won't work until I fix it. I found the switches in the doors but, not sure how to bypass them to see if they/or which one is bad? Does the switch that makes the two-wire contact stop the alarm when separated?

The door switch for the doom lights has only one wire and it grounds the circuit. The answer to your last question is yes.

Just take the bulbs out of the done light until you too the issue. I had the same issue the chime only chines like 3 tumesthen just randomly not often at all. But you'll have wipers an speedo. Spraying penetrateing oil in the door switch an shutting it a few times fixed mine.
