Where is a door jam switch on 1997 ford ranger extended cab?

There isn't a single "door jam switch" in the way some cars have a single switch for all doors. A 1997 Ford Ranger Extended Cab uses multiple door switches, one in each door jamb. These switches are located:

* Inside the door jamb itself: Look closely at the edge of the door jamb where the door closes. The switch is usually a small, rectangular or square-shaped plastic component that is pressed by the door latch mechanism when the door is closed. You might need a flashlight to see them easily.

You'll likely find one in the driver's side, passenger's side, and each of the rear doors. They are typically not easily visible without removing some trim pieces; they are designed to be accessed for repair or replacement.

If you're having a problem with your dome light or interior lights staying on, these switches are a prime suspect. If you're trying to locate them for a repair, be prepared to carefully remove some interior door panel trim to better access them.
