The light on the dash showing it’s open, and my dome light would stay on, so I had to manually turn off all the interior lights. I checked the wires that you are talking about. I would say maybe like a year or two ago when I had an issue with my rear wiper, there were like four wires that had broken, but before we were done in that area, we coated them in electrical tape to stop them from moving so much when the back hatch was opened and closed, hoping they wouldn’t break again. I will have to check those wires again. I was hoping to find the actual sensor piece unless I’d have to purchase an entire locking mechanism because it appears the sensor is part of the latch. Thanks for help and info.
