my dash says my gate is not closed but it is

debris jammin' the switch or alignment. Look carefully, you will find it.

look where

at the button what tells the computer that it is still open-

The "sensor" is the contact between the door and the latch hook.

check for any looseness, when closed, hold snug and see if light is off .if so adjust tighter at latch

bu bu bu where are you?

Are you sure it just doesn't say 'back' & you are interpreting it as rear?

2012 dodge journey dash says lift gate open but closed. i have cleaned latch and latch is tight and door is closed tightley..... whats next

i had the same problem turns out there are 2 small wires going directly to the latch when i disconnected them the light on my dash went out i am guessing but these 2 wires are the sensor wires unlike most doors for cars there is no button that triggers when the door is closed everything els works locks lights ... ect so im just gonna leave it unplugged and call it fixed till it shows some other sign that it isnt fixed

I have the same problem with dash light on . Adjusted rear gate real title fit .disconected the wire at the back and light stays on.??
