I had the same problem and I finally figured out I had to turn my headlight switch all the way to the right until it clicked. Try that.

you could have a bent stopper where the door wedges and turns off the light.

Had the same problem except the ding never stopped. Turned out to be a defective door catch (mechanism located inside the door).

you need a new door ajar switch..you have to take the whole door panel off to get to it..it sucks i had to do it on my old stang

Another vote for: It is the switch that senses when the door is open.

ok i got the light off now but the dinging still goes when i turn the dome on and have headlights on. it doesnt ding with the headlights off though. is it still the door thingy and if so which one?

 

[tomustang]

It could be either door switch. Your car thinks the door is open. It's either the switch or a relay. Check a Chilton manual for the wiring to see where the devices are located in the car. Haynes may not give you this information.
