Drain on battery overnight
OK I've been chasing this problem down and still cannot find it. When I park my jeep sometimes my rear hatch light will be on and of course the vehicle is not on, and I have to go to the rear of the jeep and re-open and close the door to make it go off. Sometimes it only does it when I need to open and close my driver side door. Also when I turn on the domelight's at the light switch, the rear hatch light notification comes on. Does anybody know what this possibly could be or is there a point where all these door sensors meet that could be shorting out that I need to fix?

While you are working on this problem you may want to remove the IOD fuse from the PDC. There's a provision on the PDC cover to store the fuse. Remember to put it back in before driving.
Your problem may be in the cargo bay dome light/switch assembly or in the hatch wiring that goes through the rubber boot thingy's between the body and the top of the hatch.
If you can, remove the cargo bay dome light/switch assembly and examine the switch and wiring to see if there's any damage.
Next (the fun part) pull the rubber boots loose and examine the wiring between the body and the hatch for chafed wiring.
