I have a 2008 chrysler T&C LX where is the sensor/switch to tell the vehicle the back gate is closed/open. I have a constant warning of gate open and inside lights stay on.

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I walked out one morning and my inside lights were on, on the dash it says gate. So I am guessing that means the back gate is open. I have slammed it shut several times with no luck, looked all over the trimand seal area looking for a switch or sensor of some sort. I am starting to guess that it is some sort of mercury type switch in the door area trim?

did u check the inside trim for a push button switch is it a power liftgate
The first thing I looked for was a push button switch around the door with it open. No switches anywhere. I'm kind of leaning towards some type of mercury switch inside the trim some where. Sometimes if I turn on the back wiper it goes away but comes back on. Thank you
Did you ever figure out how to fix this. My town and country is doing this now.
HELP!!! I have the same problem. There is no push button that I can find! Can someone please help me figure this out?

Sorry but all I can post is one pic at the time
I've also had the same exact problem on my 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Chrysler needs to do a recall and pay for these repairs!
Mine is doing the same thing now too! I'm afraid my battery is going to die while I am at work. The inside light won't go off.

I have the same problem...you can always turn your dimmer switch all the way down and just drive it like that.
