Ford F-150 Rear Door Ajar Message (easy fix) 2009-2014

- Rear Left Door Ajar or Rear Right Door Ajar Message on your Ford F150 Crew Cab while both doors are closed? ( 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 ). This is a very common issue with 4 door Ford F-150 Supercrew. There are two easy fixes for this problem.
There is a sensor inside the door actuator. First try spraying complete actuator with WD-40. This might help. If not you will have to inspect the complete wiring harness. On all of these Ford trucks wires get pinched and broken between the rear door and the truck body. You will have to remove the complete harness and try to fix the wires. If the harness is too damages, best is just to replace the harness. Easy enough to do yourself and that will save you at least few hours of labor a mechanical shop would charge.
Here is the part number for the wiring harness: AL3T 14632-DD
Thanks for watching.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Instead of repairing wires I found the entire wire harness on eBay for $35 after shipping. Just replaced it with your instructions!
Nice work! I'm glad i was able to help
Clear and concise video, no unneeded filler. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
You were spot on! I didn't even mess with the door switch, I just dug right into the wiring harness in the door jam and found 5 of the 8 wires were broken! You nailed it, thanks.
Glad it helped. Good luck
Same here, I only found 4, but man that would’ve never thought about that spot taking on damage like that.
Outstanding video. Never thought of the harness. When I looked at it, it was all gnarled and lumpy. Swapped with $35 one off Amazon in under an hour, worked like a Champ. 2011 Lariat has black plastic plate in door handle that pops out to get to a bolt holding the handle and panel to the door or the panel won’t come off. THANKS!🤠
You're most welcome. I'm glad my video pointed you in the right direction
Just went straight to the wires and I have 3 wires completely disconnected. Thanks for this great video!
You're welcome and I'm glad you found the problem
Thanks so much!! You made it very easy for me to fix my "Left Rear Door Ajar" warning. It also had the interior and bed lights staying on for about 5 minutes. I pulled the fuse thinking I had a big glitch in the computer system but after watching your video it was a broken wire and was easy to fix. Stay safe and God Bless you for your post!!!!
Thank you for the comment and I am glad my video helped you out. God Bless you as well :)
I have the same exact issues. All the outside lights stayed on for a long time and it is quite annoying. I think this is the problem.
I think I'm having the same issue. I'll notice dome lights staying on after I lock the truck up or back left door ajar while running. I just now had my truck alarm go off for no reason which I'm sure is from that door " opening " while truck is locked.
Could I just pull the fuse for now so that my battery doesn't die? And where is the fuse for it?
Amazing. Drove me nuts. All it was was lubricant on the latch and sensor. It took a try or two, had to let it soak in. Message not there anymore and light goes off. Thank you! 👍
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad my video helped you out
Thank you for the video. Super helpful. Found 1 broken wire and two that were on their way out.
Glad it helped, nice work :)
Great job , I'll be checking out your other videos.
Thank you
Thank you, I would never have looked here first, I would have gone into fuse panel, switches, etc. Saved me a lot of time and bloody knuckles 😅😎
Glad I could help :)
Thank you very much. Your video was awesome. It was very helpful.
Ray Cohen
You're very welcome!
Thank You for the informative video. Ordered new factory wiring harness took old one out and reinstalled new one no problems!!!
No problem and I'm glad my video was helpful
Did it turn off automatically or did you have to have it flashed after you replaced the wire harness
Thank you found a broken green wire, fixed it and cured the problem. Did not disassemble the door panel.
Good job and you're welcome :)
Like magic, WD-40 fixed my issue. I can't believe it was so simple.
I'm glad to hear that :)
im a little late here, but where did u spray the wd40? im having the same issue
Just bought the harness from ford and gonna swap it out today. Thanks!
You're most welcome
Thanks
I jiggled the wiring between door & it worked.
Thanks again
Excellent! Glad it helped
Thanks helped me. My wires was broken. 👍
Glad it helped
Super helpful! Thank you!
Glad I was able to help
Just an FYI everybody... if it says left rear door ajar.. it's talking about the driver side. I figured that out after realizing the passenger side was completely fine so I did double the work in the heat of Arizona on June 28th in monsoon season so you get the heat and humidity! LOL. But it really was an easy fix with just electrical tape and putting the wires back together! Also there is no reason at all to take the whole door panel off and all that! Just remove the rubber from the door and the rubber from the frame and you can see what wires are cut and then put them back together do not do all that extra work FYI
That is actually very great info! Unless you are planning on replacing the entire wiring harness, why would you take the door panel off?
Great tip! I was wondering why all the work to just fix a wire you can get at by removing the rubber boot.
I mean…left is driver
Duh
Right! This guy must work for the dealership, haha
Video work like a champ, some splicing and back to normal super helpful
Glad my video was helpful and you were able to fix your wiring
Thanks for this video! Spliced the harness and problem solved! However, there are more screws needing to be removed than you mentioned in your video. My 2011 has three screws in the panel; One on the top at the base of the trim and two on the bottom of the panel. Also, there is a screw located behind the door handle on the inside. You have to remove a small plastic plate to get to it. I had to refer to a different video to figure this out. Glad I did, because I about broke my door panel trying to remove it.
Which video for the hidden screw?
Please link the video
Yes, I actually broke my door handle trying to pull the panel off because you can't see the screw behind the handle 😢.
Thanks! Exactly what I needed
Glad it helped!
Thank u for making this video !my f150 supercrew truck just got this problem yesterday. The local dealership wants 290 dollars to replace it and the wiring harness is about 80 dollars,so dang this might save me some $$$.I liked your video sir!♥️😱😱
Thanks for the comment. Most of F150's get this problem sooner or later. 9 out of 10 times is just a few broken wires. Fix the wires or buy just the harness and replace it yourself
Thanks for the video, found the broken wires in mine and ordered a new harness.
I'm glad I was able to help
Where did you order the harness?
@@Coolbimmerguy the local ford dealer had it in stock. The part number on the factory loom isn’t the same as the replacement. Just give the dealer your vin and they will get the right part.
Man, I’m sure glad I watched this video! I was about to set my truck on fire. Haha! Plus, it was dark the entire time and I live in the south and the mosquitos were trying to get to eat me alive!
I'm glad my video helped you out ;)
Thank you sir. Work like a champ.
You're welcome!
This is why I had a Toyota for work truck... But thanks. Fixed door wiring. Really annoying sound Ford makes.
I'm glad this video helped you out
Thanks for the video, nice job.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. I'm going to try to white-trash repair it. Loosening door stuff without removing I can probably get enough room to fix the wires without disconnecting everything. Worst case, I have to disconnect everything. Thank you for making the video. Very helpful.
No problem. I'm glad this video helped you out
Big help, thank you
You're welcome
Thank you comrad. Much appreciate
Very welcome
The Yamiks? Awesome video, bud!
Thanks
Thanks! fixed it.
Glad I could help!
Thanks brother!!! Very helpful I’m subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Great video man thanks
No problem 👍
Thanks for the help
Happy to help
Do you have a video on fixing door mirrors and heat rear window on the same video? I believe it is in the wiring harness but not sure where.
Hey, spray worked...”Thanks” ! !!
Happy to hear that 👍
Thank you brother just thank you! Also don’t forget there’s another screw for the door on the bottom and then you have to pop the cover off of the inside door handle. Pull the door handle towards you and use a flat head to pop the cover behind it off and there’s a hidden screw to be able to take the door off. Super easy after that
You're welcome :)
Resolved with wd40. Thank you !
You're welcome and good job
I wish I would have seen your video BEFORE taking out the actuator lol! Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to help. Usually fixing those wires takes care of the problem
I've replaced the interior latch and wiring harness, still have the indicator saying its open, what do u think?
@@patrickland8401 Hmmm that's strange. There is a door latch sensor inside the latch itself so that should have fixed the problem if the problem was the sensor. If you replaced the wiring harness that should have fixed it if the problem was broken wires. Did you get new harness and latch or used from a salvage? Only thing that is crossing my mind right now is you could cause a "short" at the harness connector and that will for sure delete the message. But that would mean that this open door sensor will not work at all, so that is not a fix to this problem.
Great job? Thank you.
You're welcome
Thanks , solved my door problem
You're welcome
@@QuiteAlright its easier to just roll back the rubber weather shield and look for broken wires before taking door panel off.
All i ended up doing was slide back rubber, unplug wires, solder broken ones and heatshrink,
Thanks
Welcome
I have the message 2009 f250 2 door truck both rear doors open. I dont have rear doors.
My daughters truck has the door ajar message but checking the wires don't see any broken wires but there is a black tube or something with a very tiny hole in middle of tube not connected to anything, what is that ? What is the large diameter purple wire in your wire harness, it looks about the same size as this black tube in the one I'm looking at.
I haven't tried it but I will
Good luck
So why couldn't you just pull the boot at the door pillar and fix it from there instead of taking the entire panel apart? Great video!
Yes you can definitely do it that way if wires are not too damaged. In the video I wanted to demonstrate how to do it properly and replace the whole harness
2011 has (4) bolts.
(2) on the bottom
(1) behind the handle
(1) top right corner
I'm having issues finding that harness (AL3T 14632-DD) online. When I search on my own, everything points to 9L3Z-14631-CAA being the part number but I'm not sure if that's the correct part. Any advise on where to find the correct wiring harness? I was able to hack a temporary fix together but since the wires were broke so close to the connector I'm afraid my patch job won't hold. I would like to get my hands on a brand new harness just in case it doesn't hold up.
What I usually do is call local ford dealership with the vin number of my vehicle and ask for the part number. That way you will be 100% sure and it will not cost you anything. And they will give you a quote for the part and the part number.
Many electrical plugs and parts going into a plug are available, check Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Etc. Some auto parts stores also have the electrical connection parts, male and female connectors-Brother was professional school trained mech and taught my other brother and i so we could save $.
I don’t have the connector that is show at 5:23 so what do i do?
I
have a issue with the wiring harness, I have a 2009 king ranch , just after I purchased the truck the rear door chime was coming on constantly , you were bang on with the broken wires , but the fellow who had the truck before me must of had a issue as he did a butcher job of trying to fix. took it all apart and tried to fix and it did work for a while but now back to the constant chime again. Thought i would just go get a new harness but my wiring does not have plug in in the door upright , wiring just continues up through and no where to disconnect. Any ideas
Hmm that's strange. There could be something different with the king ranch model. I would try to get wiring diagram and see where those wires lead where is the connection. If you go to Ford dealer to parts department, ask for a quote for rear door harness based on your VIN number. They search their system based on schematics and diagrams and also ask them to show you or print out the diagram. Not sure what else to suggest
Ok I changed the rear door wire harness exactly how you described but my rear door light stayed on. Prior to changing the harness, the dome and rear light stayed on and completely drained my battery. After changing the harness, the light stays on until 30 seconds after I start driving, then it goes off. When I turn off the truck, the lights stays on for about 10 to 15 mins and then turn off. I decided to change the rear door latch, which has a switch as well but nothing. What else could be the problem?
Hmmm that's strange. Usually replacing / fixing the harness or replacing the door latch should fix the problem. Could be a short somewhere. Not really sure what else could it be. You would have to inspect all the wiring and the electrical connections. You could try shorting it out on purpose at the electrical connection between the new harness and the connector and see if that will make the light go off
So I’m having an issue, the harness on my truck isn’t the same as the one in your video. I have a 2013 king ranch f150 and I popped out the rubber part in between the doors to see if any cables were cut or torn and it turns out mine doesn’t even have a connection like yours in the video? It’s just all the cable from the rear door control running all the way to the front of the truck, can anyone give me some insight on this?
Sorry I wouldn't really know. Try going to ford parts online, enter your VIN number and on the schematics try finding the harness and get the part number that way
for my harness that very last plug with the boot at the end is not at that same location, the cable keeps running deep into the side of the truck and i have no way to access it and disconnect it, im not sure how to word it so i can look it up either to access it. Would anyone know what it is called?
Left / Right Rear Door Wire Harness. Call your Ford dealer with VIN number and ask for a quote and part #. Then look up the part number online and see if you get get it cheaper. Here is the part # from truck on the video: AL3T 14632 S081N
I'm gunna take mine apart tomorrow, my door lock don't work and now it says door is ajar, I hooe mine is the same problem . Ty for vid
No problem and good luck tomorrow
Can a jumper be added to stop the door signal at the conector
Yes it can. Did it couple of times, there will be no message displayed
my 2013 ford f150 does not have that plastic part at the end of the video, the cables just are in there.
my 2012 as well is lacking the clip and its just wires wrapped up together leading from car to door.. any idea what to do?
Would this explain while the power locks on my F-150 are also not working?
Possibly yes. But for those I would check the wires behind the rubber sleeve on the driver door
@@QuiteAlright Thanks! If you ever want to make a video about fixing the power locks....
@@jayurbzz You're welcome. I don't have Ford F-150 atm, but I might do a video sometime in the future
Ever find broken wires in driver's door, actuator not working! 2014 f150 supercrew xl ???? Can't get the plug out of door jam , no room when lever is folded down!
Could be a damaged wire or the actuator failing itself. You should try testing the power to the actuator. If the power is coming then its the actuator itself
@@QuiteAlright plug wire from door actuator into new one, nothing Worked, so never removed the old one! Pull boot back from door side a little to look at wires, didn't see anything broken, couldn't see the pillar side of it because couldn't unplug it, no room once the lever was moved, can't see how to unplug it, no room???
I replaced the whole harness, still have the message. Thinking I have to replace the whole sensor with latch.
Possibly. That would be the second thing to look at. You can try spraying some wd-40 and see if it helps
Tried all sprays, didn't work. Wires are not cut anywhere in the wiring loom. Even bought a new door lock actuator, and it still didn't fix it. I don't know what to do now? Any suggestions
You will have to test if the power is coming to the actuator. If it is not, there is a problem somewhere in the wiring, even could be a problem in a junction box
@@QuiteAlright I ended up cutting the entire wrap off about 3 inches into the door, was a broken wire. Got it all fixed up, that's man good video.
@@beaucopeland243 Glad to hear you figured it out 👍
Don't sweat it as if the doors are closed then ignore the messages🙃
They need to add another disconnect at the door. That way it's only a 6"-8" set of wires that be changed in 10 seconds
None of my wires are broken. , what next the door lock and the door sensor don't work?
Possibly, could be the door sensor issue. Try lubricating with WD-40 and closing/opening the door multiple times
@@QuiteAlright okay thank you sir
I’d imagine you could repair the wires without removing the door. I will try it and get back to y’all.
Yes you should be able to. Let us know how it went
Couldn't you just pull the sleeve back and check if the wires are broken and twist then up with out taking everything apart?
Yes you probably could do a temporary quick fix that way. This video shows how to do it the right way and replace the complete harness.
@@QuiteAlright I'm lazy 🤣 and its zero degrees where I'm at 😆
@@salinaz3184 haha fair enough 😁
Why remove all the stuff in the door when the problem is right by the frame???
In the video I was showing the right way on how to fix this problem and how to replace the complete wiring harness. Easy and temporary fix is to just fix those wires by the frame.
Kind of over kill you don't have to remove any of that just to fix the wires you patched. Only the rubber boot from door to body needs to be move to access it.
That's true. I wanted to show in the video the right way of doing it and how to replace the complete wiring harness in case somebody decides for it
Imagine if these guys skipped all the blah blah and told us the size and color of the two wires in question.
Hahah ford commercial before this fix
Thanks my man ! This video was of great help 🫡
Glad to hear that :)
