Default Door problem and windshield washer fluid prob

Ok so more small problems for my car now. First my door does not shut all the way sometimes. If i'm not holding onto my door for an extra couple seconds after shutting it the door will be cracked open. I think it is due to the latch not closing all the way but I am not sure? Any help on that would be great!!

Next my driver side door lock will not lock all the way when using the automatic locks. It goes about halfway and then I have to manually lock it for it to actually be locked. The same time this started happening my interior lights are constantly on. I had to pull the fuse out to get them to turn off but would like them to work right again. Help for these problems would be appreciated also!

The last problem I have been having is that I my windshield washer fluid no longer sprays out. It is full of fluid but nothing sprays but the windshield wipers are working correctly so its not the **** on the turn signal.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with my different problems.

The door latching problem may be caused by worn hinge pins. Does the door 'sag' a bit when you open it? Can you move the door up or down? If so, the hinge pins and bushings may be worn. I've had to replace mine and it made a big difference on how well the door latched.
Sorry, I don't have any thoughts on your other issues. Good luck.

Yes I think it has been sagging a little bit lately...can I get new pins at like an autozone or would I have to go to a chevy dealership?

I believe it is a common item, so Autozone should have it. I purchased mine at the local Chevy dealer as a kit (includes the pins, bushings and retaining washers) for about $20.00. Plan on having an extra set of hands around to help hold the door. Also, the spring can be a pain, but work it with a large screwdriver and it can be done without too much swearing!
