I am having the same problem with my lights staying on, have you fixed your problem yet?? if what did you do..

Well, You Know,
I read in Ford Forums to spray WD-40 on the latches.
After I sprayed and waited, no results.
"I jiggled each and every latch up and down (from the inside manually) and
cut off the sentinel lights (i.e. delay switch under the steering column) and also the interior lights as well.
Know I see what women mean when they say "I think I am going to have a BF!
If that does'nt work there is always the option of disconnecting your battery.
I also read in the owners manual that after 40 minutes, the battery saver in 1998 Expys kick in and automatically shuts everything down, including the inside/outside and runner lights.
I had no patience to wait and see.

Hey guys... The WD-40 works ! I had to use the straw part and soak the sh*t out of the latches on my 99 Expedition... Do all 4 doors. Soak the latch on the door, It will run all down the door but its worth it. I hope it works for ya ! Take Care !

Carb cleaner. Spray alot into the latch and open and close the door over and over again for awhile. This should clear it up.

This worked for me.
