Just started getting a "liftgate open" indicator light with sound. I replaced the liftgate latch with sensor, did not fix the problem. Moved the strike latch, did not fix the problem. Disconnected the connector to the sensor and did not fix the problem. Appears to be a short somewhere and I do not know where to begin to locate the short. Any help would be greatly welcomed.
