The sensors are on the latch mechanisms. They require door panel removal to gain axcess. Stuck door sensors are a very common problem.

Very common problem. A temporary solution that sometimes works until you can get your replacement part is to "flush" them out thourougly with WD-40, to clear any debris that may be on the track of the sensor.

The WD-40 flush worked for me. That was 50K miles ago.

Yup WD-40 the mechanism every 20,000 or so and you are good to go.

Rusty Ford door latches? Say it ain't so

I have replaced over 100 of those little latch switches for exactly that reason. 9 times out of 10 its the driver's door.
