Q: My 2004 f250 6.0 dome lights don't come on when I open the door nor does the door opening kill the radio. I replaced the door ajar

asked by on July 23, 2017

When I open any door, the lights don't come on. The driver door does not kill the radio or acc and the daytime running lights don't come on when I have the light switch in auto. The door ajar switches have been replaced and the relay in the fuse panel for daytime running lights have been replaced. Where do I look next?

My car has 331000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
