1. My Fuel Filter will not come out and i don't want to brake a line.

2. My Airbag light won't go off ive taken the dash apart so many times and nothing is loose.

3. It always tells me that "door ajar"... the dome light wont go off?

If anyone can give me some solutions or some ideas It would be much appreciated.

The fuel filter may require a quick disconnect release tool. You'll find it in the Help section od any AP store, looks like a scissors arrangement with 4 sizes. Some fuel filters had tabs built into the line that you press with your fingers as you push the line into, then out from the filter. Obviouslyyou don't need the tool for those. You will have to release the fuel pressure first. You can rev the engine while you remove the fuel pump fuse, then it'll run out of gas and die. Release the residual at the Schrader valve on the fuel rail (looks like a tire stem). Cover it with a rag so you don't get sprayed.

No idea on the Airbag light.

Search on Door Ajar. Too common to even type about.

2. Look at the front sensor to see if it has gotten any water or dirt in it around the weather connector. Should be on the frame rail behind the bumper. If that is clean look for other connections. More than likely the module is bad or has a bad ground.
3. The door ajar switch is connected to the door latch. Spray it down with WD-40 or something equivelent. Soak the piss out of it. Then put some spray white lithium grease in it.

4.0 fuel filters require the quick disconnect tool. Can be picked up from most Auto Parts stores for 5 or 6 dollars. Looks like this, second picture down. http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/spring2008/fuel_filter_swap.htm

Air bag...no idea. Try Brett Simpson's idea.

Door ajar light. Common problem. Just did mine a week ago. Shoot a few spritzes of WD-40 into the door latch, the opening at the rear of the door. Fix that problem right up.

Try getting a Haynes manual. It's got the fuel filter tool pictured and probably has some help with the airbag light. Not sure, never looked it up.
