Door ajar light

Do we have one on our cars? I was driving home yesterday and noticed the car kept making noises over every bump. I thought there must be something wrong with my suspension, it sounded like I was hitting the bump stops on every road imperfection. I pull over and realized my door wasn't closed all the way.

On a side note, for those of you who are lowered do you bottom out often? It seems like I'm bottoming out every 15 min when I drive because our roads are so bad. I'm guessing it's hitting the bump stop before the shock is fully depressed, right? Is there any harm in this?

Yeah it's toward the bottom of the lights cluster next to the bulb-out light

Thanks, but I was hoping to hear that we don't have one since I didn't see any dash warning lights on (it was the first thing I checked for before I pulled over). I guess my bulb for that is out. Wouldn't it be ironic if my bulb-out light was also out?

Yeah I'd look into why it didn't lit up!

FYI my 2003 had developed this issue where the door would pop open (not completely open but just pop out) every time the car hit a major bump. Apparently a common problem on early models (not sure if it also affects post-facelift).
