Hello, I want to install a door light switch for a pantry door that when you open the door a light will come on. Right now there is no light in the pantry and you have turn on all the lights on in the kitchen and dinning room to see inside it.

Scott Drake courtesy light switches are exact reproductions of the original Ford parts. They are great additions to any restored original interior. Also known as a door ajar or courtesy light switch, they activate the dome lights when your door is not completely closed.

I plan on using a old American light rope I have with a mounting track to save money (pictured below). I am planning on using a Single-Pole AC/DC Push Button Door Switch. However, the area to install the door switch in the door frame(pictured below) there is no room to run wires in the wall that ends right at the end of the door frame. Therefore, I think I can just mount the door switch at the top of the door frame using a electrical box. I also will have to install a outlet on the inside of the pantry. There is a outlet on the other side of the wall (pictured below).

Can I wire all this up and using a grounded extension cord and plug it in the new electrical outlet in the pantry?

1. Would that be safe?
2. Or would I have to install conduit?
3. What do you think I will need to make this happen as far as parts?

Hi @woodturner63 ,

Have you checked that all the doors (and boot) are shut correctly?

Open 1 door at a time and find the door light switch in the door frame (it may be under a rubber boot which you can leave on. It is spring loaded so you can push it in and it will come out by itself when you release it) and manually operate and release it a few times to see if you can make the light go on and off. Do this for all doors. Remember to only have 1 door open at a time when you do this.

If the light doesn't go out then you may have a faulty door switch or the wiring to one switch may have shorted out to the chassis. The trick is to find out which one.

I have a 2008 ford edge and the door adjar light just came on today and started making a dinging noise, I have open the doors one at a time and shut one at a time and it doesn't go off. we just bought the car Monday and never had a problem with it then today it does this. can anyone help?

Hi Samantha Jenkins,

If you have only just bought the car and if it was not a private sale, take it back to where you bought it from and show them the problem and ask them to fix it.

I have a Ford ranger 2007 and the door light turns on when I hit a bump or i

turn and then it turns off do I have a bad switch or bad connection ?
