Periodically the interior lights come on. Traced it to the liftgate. It has a switch on each latch from what I have read. So far, I have had to pull fuse 27 to turn them off when it happens. I have pulled the liftgate panel and can't see the switches. Anyone have photos of where they are or how to get to them? All I have found is the 2002 photos and the liftgate is not the same config.

If the switches are like the ones in the doors, they are built into the latches. Since the panel is pulled, look toward the sides and see if you can see wires coming out of a small plastic piece in the latch housing. Those will be your switches. Good luck.
