its the damn door switch... happened in my ranger, i was told if you grease the contact points it will start working again.
btw. my ranger fuse was also the spedo/odo fuse... i drove that effer for 2 years without ever putting a mile on it... my ticket to hell.

^ got it backwards, MAD, the light WONT go out 
There is a timer located in the "black box" directly to the side of fuse box on drivers side kick panel. My guess is the timer has an issue, because the light would eventually go out even if you left a door/trunk open.
You may need to go to a dealer for this one.

The windows stopped working in my wifes Honda last summer and we couldn't figure out why. I figured it was some reverse polarity switch that went bad (or something technical). I pulled out the dash (which is a engineering feat all in it's own), took off all the door panels, found $1.78 in change and traced every circuit to every door with my multi meter... then as I'm Face Down *** Up feet to the sky under the dash my wife walks up to the CRV and says, "WHAT"S THIS BUTTON DO?" ''flip! And the windows all start to roll down as she hits the buttons..... There was a window lock button. FUTHER MUCKER!
