    as for the light coming on....does opening or closing the windows effect it? I'm sure the wind/pressure is pushing it just enough....maybe pull the switch off and put a washer underneath it so it fits more snuggly against the hatch...or is the switch build into the latch?

    i've never had this problem, im just giving typical problems when it comes to electronics and wires
    what i would suggest is take out the cluster and check teh back.

    It's a simple switch, spray WD40 on it and it will open the circuit all the way (when the hatch = closed).
