Re: 2002 Explorer broken wire in door-body harness

For an '02 its unusual.

On 2000 and older expeditions I had a few with "door ajar lite " on caused
by rubbing in the rear doors

But it can also be caused by temperatures , below zero temps and opening
your drivers door 30 times a day can cause a wire to break faster then
normal
