Just tonight when i got into my car and pulled the door shut, the door did not stay closed, i thought it might be the cold/ice (since its a near blizzard out tonight) and i pulled it closed and tried to slam it shut, to no avail i started to look at the latch in the door. I dont know anything about cars and had no idea what i was looking at... Like i said, it's very cold outside. I have noticed the past few days that the door ajar button would light up even though all the doors were shut, but I didnt think anything of it. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Need to look at the latch assembly and be sure it isnt latched with door open.If the latch is in the open position and wont hold the door shut it will most likely need a new latch assembly
