Endeavor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Endeavor's song Ajar, the lyrics seem to convey feelings of discouragement and a desire for solitude. The repetition of "here we go again" and "the door closes again" suggests a sense of repetition and monotony that the singer is struggling to break free from. The day winding down appears to twist all appreciation into a forgotten mass, indicating a sense of disillusionment with the world around them. The singer's intentions to keep up are combatted by an overwhelming urge to sleep away their discouragement, a coping mechanism that may provide temporary relief but ultimately cannot make their problems disappear.
The singer expresses a desire to be alone, without anyone to scratch their back or tell them it's okay. This may suggest a need for space and self-care, as well as a desire to avoid relying on others for comfort. The singer does not want to sleep to forget about their problems this time, suggesting a willingness to confront and process their emotions instead of simply trying to escape them.

Suggestion: before getting completely destructive on the car door sensor, try spraying a generous amount of contact cleaner and maybe even some degreaser up in that spot. I tried this and the door sensor started working again.
@selwynmomberg6113

@jimmygreene284
Happened again the next day, repeat process and empty half a can up there, problem came back a week later and lubricant won't fix. Probably going to do this. Oh by the way I have 2013 Flex
@franknitty9875
Been there done that
@historyraven99
@@franknitty9875Same. Even when I had to replace my entire break system, 2011 Edge, the mechanic got so frustrated. He used WD 40 and it only lasted about a month. He wants the same as the dealer to fix it. It already cost me 2 batteries and I just got a new one. I don't recommend these SUVs. I've spent 1/4 of what I paid for it (used but really clean). Now I know why I got such a bargain. My Ford Escape never gave me problems. Should've just kept it, would be vintage now.

**GUYS! BEFORE BREAKING THIS PIECE OFF, ENSURE THAT THE PART THAT THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO BREAKS IS ACTUALLY YOUR CULPRIT!** Sorry about the caps, but I don't want people breaking this part on their vehicle just to continue having the door ajar error issue. I used to think that this part was causing my door ajar problem, but in my case, the problem is actually caused by the wiring harness that runs between my door and my truck body. The wiring harness is designed to feed in and out of your truck everytime you open and close your door. It's guided by a rubber accordion-style sieve that collapses in on itself, and a hard plastic guide-line that keep your wiring from bending and breaking. However, a lot of Ford doors have an issue where the hard plastic guide-line will start to bend, which then causes your wiring harness to bend everytime you open and close your door. Over a period of time, these wires will start to break. When the wire that feeds your door ajar sensor breaks, then your vehicle will constantly think that the door is open, giving you the same error that the guy in this video has. I hope this comment helps someone.

Harold Stewart Thanks for the warning! Is that something that's easily fixed? Sometimes my car (Toyota Celica) recognizes that the door is closed, but most of the time, it doesn't. It's not consistent...
@TOOLology1
deprofundis I deduced that my door ajar issue was caused by my wiring harness when I grabbed the wires and kind of pulled them back and forth. After that, my door ajar alarm stayed on constantly. Hahah! So that's one way to figure out if that's your problem. However, no, it wasn't a difficult fix once I gathered the courage to dive into the issue. On my truck (F-150) I pulled the rubber accordion-style sieve away from my door and shoved it most of the way into the hole that the wires feed through in my truck body to give me room to work. Then I carefully cut the tape or sticky vinyl or whatever that was wrapped around the bundle of wires away, exposing the wires themselves. Once I could see the wires, it was obvious which ones were broken. I actually had 2 broken wires. Then I used these things called "butt splices" to reattach the wires. I stripped the tips of the wires, put the exposured copper wiring into each end of the butt splice, then crimped them to prevent the wires from pulling loose. I taped the bundle of wires back up, then replaced the sieve, and it fixed my problem. Hope this helps. Good luck!
