2003 lincoln navigator running board stay out on passanger side unless your are moving (they retract) passenger mirror does not adjust backig up message continues saying door ajar

Question edited for clarity.

Question moved to model category.



Spray with 'Jigaloo anti-seal squeal' noise spray. Spray the door seal, the lock, the running board gaps and fixings. It is a remarkable dry silicone spray.

The gear element stripped out inside the mirror housing

Mirror itself is defected wears out and won't retract to its original position

YOU HAVE A BAD MIRROR ASSEMBLY THE PLASTIC IS STRIPPED INSIDE THE MIRROR.

Most likely will have to replace them
& doubt they are inexpensive,so much so,
I'm afraid to call & ask for my own

Can only Diagnose with a scanner and a trouble chart. It's all electronic

alot of times the mirrors r tied in with the memory seats, try resetting ur memory seats with the mirrors where u want them...

The door switches are built in the latches on each of the doors, they are pron to sticking, leaving the security module to beleive the door is open.
The simple fix is to spray a generous amount of WD40 on, in, and around the door latches, then opening and closing the door a few times. I would start with the passenger door as`this is likely the culprit. do the rest of the latches as a prevenitive measure.

Hope this is of some help.

I had the same problem with my Excirsion. Turns out it was the plug just inside the body where the running board lights connect. If it gets dirty, it causes intermittent contact. If you haven't checked this, that would be my first action. I bet the Navigator has the same type of plug there as the Excursion.
