Latch sequence in fixture is in closed position. This means the roundish shaped tab is down and blocking the door latch from entering the door.

If you look at the opposite door you will see that the latch resembles a slot for the post on the door sill to slide into when the door is closed. Your problem door will have that slot closed off by the latch.

Sometimes child safety lock-outs may be 1/2 way engaged and it gets the mechanism out of time. Or the spring which operates the latch breaks and the latch will not retract.

Make sure that the latch is doing what you want before you close the door, or you may be writing about what to do if the door won't open.

What do I need to do in order to get the back door on the passenger side to close? A tech from AAA said I needed a spring for the door latch?

if it won`t close look at the door latch mechanism. there should be two u shaped claws that close around the door striker plate pin, sometimes these get closed before the door is closed causing the door not to close and stay closed. if they are closed(claws) pull the door handle to open the door and take something and push the claws out(open) then close the door.

Sounds like the door latch is stuck or broken.
There is a gear in the side of the latch that turns when it hits the striker bolt on the door frame.
You can try taking a screwdriver and pushing on the gear to see if it will move. You can look at one of the other doors to see how it is supposed to work.

Door on 95 geo metro 4 door won't close because the child proof lock in on and I can't get it to go off. Door won't stay shut. Any ideas how to fix this?

Your childproof lock have nothing to do with the latch not closing. It only makes it where you can not open the door from the inside. I would think you are in need of a new latch.

2006 chev.colora the door lock on the front right side won`t work

Common for the door lock solenoid to go bad and your going to need to replace it. You may hear it clicking but it's to weak for it to lock and unlock the door.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck
