1994 Chrysler Town and Country saying tailgate is open when it's not

Hello,

I own a 1994 Chrysler Town and Country minivan.

The dashboard is all electronic.

When I drive the car, it says that the tailgate is open on the dashboard sensor. The interior lights will not shut off as a result, and my car beeps at  me.

The dashboard tailgate sensor flicks on and off, along with the lights and the beeping, whenever I hit a bump.

I have checked, nothing is impeding the locking mechanism. The buttons on the either side of the tailgate on the inside of the car, which may or may not be connected to the sensor, do not seem to be stuck. Nothing is impeding the tailgate and I have confirmed it is indeed shut tight and will not open.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Find out what fuse is connected to it and pull it out... otherwise grab your trusty multimeter and start poking the wires until you find the problem
