If it only comes on when you open the lift gate more then likely you have a cracked wire in the wire harness. It is very common for the wires to break that go through the jamb into the lift gate itself. pull off the lift gate panel and remove the rubber boot that hold the wire harness. The wires normally break inside of the rubber boot. Hope this help. Let us know what you find.
