Door ajar light is left on

So just about 30 minutes ago, I pick up my g/f and we start leaving her house and I notice that the door ajar light (the one by the tachometer) is on and won't shut off. So my car isn't "locked". I checked all the doors and they all are properly closed. However, I did check my passenger door and it felt a little "stuck", but it still opens and closes all the way.

Anyone have ideas?

Ok in all seriousness, I had the same thing happen.

So the rubber plunger that has the switch the goes in and out, the part that if you push on even if the door is open to make the light go off, the metal switch in there broke and it bent left of right so it never said whether my door was shut or not.

Its inside the door frame near the seatbelt. My seatbelt buckle got shut in the door a few times and that is what broke my switch. Make sure you can depress it like a button, if it feels loose and bends left or right that is your prob right there.
