Default Interior Light and cargo hatch problem

My interior light comes on even though all the doors and the hatch are closed. Seems to be an intermitant problem, so I suspect it may be a bad contact. Does anyone know where the contact swith is for the cargo hatch?

Thanks,

Dennis

A bad contact for both?
Sounds like a short to me, I currently have a short on the #11 fuse, which powers the hatch light, interior light, etc. It's a pita to find, but wish me luck.

I had this problem too. I "fixed" it by cutting one of the wires on
the rear (cargo area) light which was shorted to ground. Not sure where
the short is. I can't locate the "hatch open" switch which would turn
on the rear hatch light when the hatch is opened. I suspect the short
is in that switch wherever it is. I couldn't find any switches on the
hatch mechanism.

Anyone know where the switch that indicates that the hatch is open is
located ?

I found it. The ground wire on the PS hatch strut was loose and needed to be replaced. Thanks. Dennis
