'99 Continental, weird electrical problems

Absolutely LOVE my car, bought it about 4 years ago. But it's had some weird problems. About 2 years ago, something inside the steering wheel connected to the security system went bad, preventing the engine from turning over. Then about a year ago, some sensor for driver door went bad, causing the rear suspension to stay all the way up.

The door lock/unlock buttons have never worked on the back doors. Any ideas?

And lately it thinks there's a door ajar sometimes. It's not the driver door because that would say "driver door ajar." This is just "door ajar." Ideas?

The guy who last worked on my car said this particular car is about the most electrically-complicated car ever and Ford used it to test a lot of new things. What are your thoughts? Is there a typical "next thing" I can expect to go wrong? Anything I should inspect to see if it's going bad? I want to drive this car unless/until they stop selling premium.
