While driving home from the grocery store, the dome lights and gate open warning light came on. Since it was after dark, the light from the dome light was blinding and made it very difficult to see. I immediately pulled over and checked the tailgate. It was firmly latched as well as the window. When starting to drive again, it went out but almost immediately came back on. Fortunately I was about a mile from home and made it home without incident.
This should be reported to the NHTSA as a potential crash problem as the bright light suddenly coming on could cause an accident. I have not driven the vehicle since it first happened and will report it if it happens again.
I know there are some other electrical recalls for this model and year Jeep and this should be added to the list.
okay so i just bought this Jeep 02/02 and now the lift gate open light is on (and yippee it gives me a picture in case i forgot what the hell it looks like argggg ) I have opened shut it cleaned the connections jams and slammed it shut clearly its shut but the sensors says open and due to this the interior lights stay on the auto start wont work... im at a loss and irked any ideas ????
