The car door won't close and is hitting against the wrong part of the latchwhat do I have to do to fix this problem?
Check the hinges on the door. They probably need replacing. Open the door and then lift it and see if there is free play in the hinges. There should not be. The latch itself is adjustable so if it is only slightly off, you may be able to adjust it enough so it will latch. You will need to loosen the latch and adjust it even if you replace the hinges.

Almost all car doors adjust the same way, by adjusting the bolt or u latch on the door post. The part the lock catches on. Some have 2 bolts, some are the bolt itself. Just loosen the catch and move it in a bit.
Where is door ajar switch?
The door ajar switch on a 1993 Mercury Topaz is located in the door latch. The switch is triggered by the top hook of the latch. If the problem is having to frequently slam the door a second time to make the seat belt work, try to adjust the striker bolt attached to the door frame up a bit. Works for me.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOOR WHERE THE THREE SCREWS ARE, IS EVERYTHING STRAIGHT OR IS THE LATCH IN SLIGHTLY? (1/16" WILL MATTER) IF YOU GET IT OUT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE IT SHOULD CLOSE AND LATCH. (WHEN IT IS IN TOO FAR THE LATCH HITS THE LOOP AND THE DOOR WON'T CLOSE) ALSO CHECK TO SEE IF THE SHEET METAL HAS CRACKED BY THE HINGE, CHECK THE LOWER ONE, THIS WILL NEED TO BE WELDED.
