After taking some hard spins the hatch door warning light is on even when it is closed.

Before, the trunk light would turn off when I close the trunk. Now, the trunk interior light is dimmed when it is closed but remains on. It is brighter when I open the upper trunk. I played around the reciever but it didn't help. Can someone please help? Thanks!

 

Sounds like a bad ground or a short? I didn't even know the hatch had that sensor? Where is it located?

 

There's a wire connecting to the latch's reciever. If you trace it down, you will find a ground wire attaching to the panel. Those 2 wires are tight and look clean without cuts.

 

a bad ground would cause the light to not come on!
the switch could be bad or you have a break in the wire somewhere, inspect the entire wire looking for breaks or tears
