still nothing mechanic time?
when i close the door it bounces back open the lock is fine its the latch or w-e is not allowing it to catch so the door stays shut.
 
lift the handle and open the little door catch it may have gotten closed with the door open. other wise the latch may have broken on the inside.
 
you can open and close the latch by hand you can adjust the lock or latch on most cars with a screws and some things replacing the door pins mighjt be the case they do wear out an dlet the door drop down some id try and adjust the latch first two screws look at it see i bet there is marks on it where its hitting but most likey the door pins and wore out not hard to replace or buy any parts store should have them door is haevy so might need two people to handle the job but easy to fix
 
The door won't close or the door won't lock? WD 40 doesn't really work on locks as good as they claim.
 
Maybe the latch part got pushed down and its behaving like its already closed. Look at the latch mechanism on another door. You should see like a C shaped latch it closes over the peg when you shut it. Now compare that with the passenger door, do they both look the same or is the passenger door have the c shaped latch in the down position. You can take a screwdriver and push the latch up and it should click into place in the open position.
