So the "Door Open" Light is on. and I checked about 10 times that ALL doors ARE infact CLOSED. What could this problem be of? (Light on the Dash)

Obvious question, is the switch in the on position?

I'm referring to the light on my dash.

Did you check your trunk? (If it's a Sedan)... If it's not that, then I have no idea (I don't know if the fuel tank door will trigger the light.)

i did check my trunk numerous times as well.. maybe it was just a "phase". I'll check again in the morning

Sometimes the little yellow slider on the latch to disable the remote opener lever gets moved and the trunk does not lock properly. See if that is the case by moving it back to the full position.

It could also be a frozen door switch. It's supposed to go up to 10 today so perhaps the problem will go away.

check the PJB on the passenger side could be that the connector on the far left could have come lose. check that connector i beleive it is an orange coloured one. If its not that it could a bad connection in between the door jams were the body harness meets the door harness. Did you have the door panels off at one time? possibly a wire got damaged by a screw. Also may be a door lock actuator.
If you are under warranty i would highly suggest you take it in for warranty because if its not something simple it could take a while to diagnose properly.

Could also be the fault of an after-market alarm system....

I'd do this first! Just get some WD40, spray all the latches and work them...simplist possible solution.If that doesn't work follow McGuyver's tips.
...I'm assuming you have no after-market system installed!:)

that could be related to the orange conector by the pjb. Thats where i tapped mine for my alarm so the module can tell the doors are open and closed

I know this is a bit old, but same issue happened to me today.
I pressure washed the car and I think some water got onto one of the door switches (doors/hatch/hood) and prevented me from locking the car via remote. I could manually lock the doors from the door switch thou.
I open then closed all the doors, but nothing changed so assumed something frozen. So the girlfriend got a free 30min drive as I cranked the heat in the car. Sure enough the light magically went away, thawed out which ever door switch that was frozen.
