Service Procedure
1. Is the sliding door difficult to open or close, recently repaired, or out of alignment?
(1). Yes – complete the sliding door adjustment in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-03 prior to proceeding to Step 2. Use the following updated torque specs when completing the sliding door adjustment:
- Step 12 = 70 Nm (52 ft-lb).
- Step 27 = 40 Nm (30 ft-lb).
- In Step 18, apply Motorcraft® Threadlock 262 to the nut before tightening.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
2. Close the door to the primary (full/two clicks) latched position. Is the rear door ajar warning message off in the instrument cluster?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – If this is the first repair attempt, proceed to Step 6. For subsequent repair attempts, proceed to Step 9.
3. Open the door fully. Is the rear door ajar warning message on in the instrument cluster?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 4.
(2). No – inspect the switch, connector and wiring. Repair or replace as necessary and return to Step 2.
4. Close the door in the secondary (half/one click) latched position. Is the rear door ajar warning message on?
(1). Yes – for single door adjustment, proceed to Step 5. For both door adjustments, repeat Step 2 on the other door.

5. Drive the vehicle on a rough road with all doors closed. Does the rear door ajar warning message remain off at all times?

(2). No – proceed to Step 6.
6. Remove the ajar switch mating connector. Tap the switch connector (Figure 1, Callout 2) lightly using a soft tool to move the switch housing outboard by about 3 to 4 grooves (Figure 1, Callout 1).
7. Reattach the mating connector.
8. For first time repair attempts, prepare a 5 +/- 0.25 mm spacer by stacking an appropriate number of hard cardboard strips (Example: oil filter box) and bind them together with painter’s tape. (Figure 1) Proceed to Step 11.
9. Decrease spacer thickness by 2mm. Proceed to Step 11.
10. Increase spacer thickness by 2mm. Proceed to Step 11.
11. Attach the spacer to the inboard rear edge of the door so that the spacer will push on the switch plunger when closing the door. (Figure 2) Figure 3
12. Slowly push the door to its fully closed position (2 clicks) to set the switch housing position.
NOTE: Closing the door with too much force or sliding it with too much speed may set the housing depth inaccurately.
13. Open the door, remove the spacer and proceed to Step 2.
