"doors open" icon keep lighting up when doors are shut closed!
I remember a few months back I was taking a sharp turn and my dome light lit up along with my "doors open" light on the gauge cluster (ill call it doors open till I find out what its really called) I didnt really think much of it and left it at that. NOW the "DO" light is pretty much on all the time... its obvious that my drivers side door is not latching correctly.... how can I correct this?

its actually really really easy to fix. go get a pretty big phillips head skrewdriver, open you're door, loosen the skrews on the striker plate (thing that door latches too, great for opening bottles btw), then move it around until the arrows on it line up with the alignment dimples on the door frame, then just tighten it back down and you're set.

u just emailed me about my ws (for an audio clip). sorry i couldn't help... hey door probs... 
same with me... there's like a little button on the frame of the door (not the door itself) and usually you could test it out by pushing it in... i don't really kno how to solve this prob but you can do the ghetto way and use electrical tape to tape it shut... try to screw the latches on the door panel tighter. last resort is to disassemble the door panel from the car and realign the door as u put it back on....
