This is been driving me crazy since I got the car about four months ago. It is coming from the back hatch door and I cannot find the door sensor for the back hatch. I do not even know if it is the sensor because when the door shut and I pulled back on it a little bit the door ajar light goes out. So lately I have been putting a little piece of wood underneath the weather stripping/gasket of the back hatch and when I close the hatch the light goes off. Until I hit a bump then it goes back on! I have looked everywhere for it.

Hello,

The sensor is in the latch, look for a wiring connector on the latch. It is built inside.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken

Thank you. I was all ready today to rip off the weatherstrip/gasket. You just saved me some aggravation and money.
