Hey J. I hate to tell you this but if the lights come on when you close the hood or the toilet flushes when you turn on the water in the sink, then you got a real problem!

I hope you just kidding about the hood Jordan; cuz that surly wouldn't have anything to do with your door latch. It sounds like the latch is just in need of some lubrication. If you haven’t already given it a good soaking with some spray solvent like PB Blaster, Kroil or WD-40 then do that first and after it evaporates get as much white grease (lithium grease) as you can packed into the latch. If you continue to have problems with it latching you can remove it with the window still in the truck and clean it up real good and lube it with white grease. It's a real bear to get out but with some patience turning it this way and that it will come out thru the inspection cover.
