Hello. This is most likely a mechanical issue with one of the components of your door latch assembly. An inspection would need to be completed to determine why your door won't close all the way (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/door-will-not-shut-inspection). I would suggest you...
Check you dipstick to make sure that the proper amount of oil (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-check-your-engine-oil) was installed. It's possible that someone forgot to re-fill the engine oil. It could also just be a coincidence that the Check Engine Light came on after...
The most common causes of the AC fan not working are problems with the temperature sensor or the fan itself. If you need assistance with this, I would recommend having a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to...

If the check engine light is constant (NOT flashing) you might have days to weeks, depending on how much the air fuel ratio departs from the stoichiometric ideal. Too little fuel and the engine runs too hot. Too much fuel...
