Accepted Answer

One of your door latches is bad. You should be able to figure out which one, by setting your dome light switch to "door open" and putting the key in the ignition and turning it on (having they key on makes the light go off as soon as the door is closed, instead of a timer) You should also be able to tell by the "courtesy lights" on the front door panel, if the latch is still showing open that light will stay on, and the other side will not.
