Description of the problem	On a ford f-150 super cab pickup, the problem is this.. It started with me driving down the highway and noticing that there was a windy noise. Much like a window was partially lowered. What i finally discovered, was that the rear door was not completely latched in the full locked position. When i closed the driver door, it fully engaged the rear door and cleared the display light on the dash of an open-door indication, was non-the-less partially open. I have shown my dealer that i can do this, by just shutting the rear door as opposed to basically slamming it closed. Then when the front door is closed, the open-door light goes out. Incidentally, this same case is true for the passenger door side. I have come to make a special check through the mirrors, to see if there is a straight line along the door frame right at the base of the window. This tells me whether the door is fully closed. And i have found this on several occasions. *jb
