The wiring inside the drivers door going to the door latch is shorting or the switch in the latch is malfunctioning. Remove the door panel and inspect the wiring going to the latch. The wire colors are dark blue and light green. If you find no problem with the wiring, replace the latch.

would removing the door and replacing the latch be a do it yourself job? ive seen people talk ab disconnecting the battery..would this have any effect? and by latch the piece that basically keeps the door shut

Removing the door panel and replacing the latch is easy enough for a do-it-yourselfer. The latch is the piece that holds the door shut. Disconnecting the battery will likely have no affect on the problem.

  • Remove the door handle bezel.
  • Remove the door trim panel upper extension.
  • Using a suitable flat-bladed tool, gently pry the manual lock lever from the door trim panel.
  • Remove the trim panel screws.
    • Remove the screw (2) from within the opening where the manual door lock lever resides.
    • Remove the screw (3) from the opening in front of the armrest.
    • Remove the screw located beneath the map pocket, if equipped.
  • Carefully slide the trim panel up in order to release the retainers from the door.
  • Disconnect the electrical connectors.
