1997 Ford Expedition. Exterior and interior lights remain on for 10-15 minutes after parking and closing all doors. Switches are not visable in door jams, must be internal. I'm sure there is a relay associated with the system. How do I troubleshoot? Thanks Nathan

Sounds like door ajar switch is sticking. It is located inside of door panel. Prior to removeng door panel try spraying latch assembly liberally with WD-40 or similar product - operate door a few times and then spray with silicone. This procedure may save you some labor. Common problem with these vehicles
