Detailed Description

Standard Ignition AW-1018 is a door jamb switch made for vehicles that use a front left or left-side door switch location. It is a direct replacement for the original part and is commonly used on applications such as 2005-2014 Ford Mustang, 2008-2010 Ford Explorer, and 2004-2007 Mercury Mountaineer. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn or intermittent door switch on a Ford Mustang, Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Five Hundred, Freestyle, Mercury Montego, Mountaineer, or Lincoln Aviator, AW-1018 provides the correct OE-style form and connector layout.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Interior dome light staying on or not turning on when the door opens
• Door-ajar warning light staying illuminated
• Intermittent courtesy light operation from a worn switch
• Faulty anti-theft or warning-light input on supported Explorer applications
• Switch failure caused by age, moisture, or repeated door use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and mounting location before installation. AW-1018 uses a direct mount design with a female square connector and male blade terminals, so it should be matched to the original switch configuration on the vehicle. Confirm the vehicle position listed in the fitment data before ordering, especially on Ford Explorer models with warning light and anti-theft system notes.
