Where is the door jamb switch on a 1999 Ford Expedition?

The door jamb switch on a 1999 Ford Expedition isn't a single, easily-identifiable switch like a light switch. Instead, it's integrated into the door latch mechanism itself. You won't find a separate component labeled "door jamb switch."

To find the switch's *location*, you'll need to:

1. Open the door: The switch is located within the door jamb area, where the door meets the vehicle's body.

2. Look at the door latch mechanism: The switch is a small electrical component, usually a small plastic piece with wires attached, embedded *within* the latch assembly. You may need a flashlight to see it clearly. It's often hidden behind or within the latch itself, making it difficult to access without removing parts of the door panel.

3. Consider each door: There will be one of these switches (and potentially more depending on features) in each door jamb.

It's important to note: Accessing and replacing these switches often requires removing the door panel, which is a more involved task. If you are not mechanically inclined, it's best to consult a repair manual or take it to a mechanic. Improperly removing the door panel can damage the wiring and other components.
