- Curb? What curb, I felt a speedbump
So the ranger I have has had an electrical gremlin since the day I bought it and that is that one or both of the crew doors (truck is super crew, 2+2) door ajar sensor is not functioning properly.
I have poked around in the shell of the door and since found one handle, two latches and one wire that splits into two, one ends at what I assume to be the sensor as it ends at the lower latch and the other ends at the door speaker.
I think that the door ajar issue is attributed to dirt and grime buildup in the latch because of its location in the door.
What I'm wondering is are they just two wires (positive and negative) and if I cut the wires and splice them together does anyone see a problem there or should I clean the latch?
