The door latch may not close properly due to misalignment, a faulty latch mechanism, or a worn-out latch.
usually the locking latch in the door is in the closed position. try holding the handle in the open position and opening the latch manually.

sounds like a bad door latch mechanism.
If the switch is concealed in the door latch--(common problem) Spray door latch liberally with WD40 open and close door many times--then spray with silicone should solve problem If not in door latch- could be faulty light switch or wire grounding somewhere in door switch remove, replace and check wiring
try to close it then never use it ...if i could keep it closed i wont open it again i think it has something to do with the mechanics in the door itself
Try spraying the latch mechanism with WD-40. Work the latch a few times and then spray it again.
Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
If the door will not close on a 1994 Ford Thunderbird unless the latch is flipped up, the latch is gummed up. Spray the latch with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench to free up the latch mechanism. A door that is out of alignment will also cause this type of problem. Check the hinge and inspect for cracks that might allow the door to droop.
Fod product? Spray the door latch assembly liberally with WD-40, operate the door a few times then spray with a silicone spray
how do you fix a prosthetic leg that the release screw wont go all the way down in to the socket
Your car door latch could be either frozen if your in a cold climate or just turned into the latched position. With car door open lift handle to free latch. Now turn latch ( a curved metal assembly with a spring ) to the open position. You will know it is positioned rite when you can see the opening in this curved assembly. Now close door as usual. If assembly is frozen, you may have to repeat this proceedure several times or apply some heat , possably a hair dryer to latch mechanism to free it up. Hope this was helpful Bill in upstate NY
