Door Ajar Light

Hello,

This just started happening like 1 hour ago. The dash says door ajar, although all the doors are closed. I have a 2003 f150 sport 4x4 XLT with the suicide doors. I had previously in the evening had the hood open but it is now secure too. The interior dome light won't go off which is the annoying part.

What could this be? What should I do? I leave for a 6 weeks school tomorrow night and my wifes car broke down 3 hours ago.

Thanks for you help,

Wes
