On the dash it says gate is open but its shut tight.

it could be a sensor out of adjustment or shorted. you will have to find which door is causing the problem and check out the sensor. you can also check for a code in the BCM as this is were it is monitored. it may tell you which door and possibly what set the light.

Rear tail gate light stays on

I hope this is an easy fix, but I doubt it!
Try to locate the switch, it should be a push button, that opens when you lift the rear gate, and closes when you close the rear gate.
If that switch is broken, it will stay on.
Also, the switch, usually made of plastic, could have fallen down inside the hole where it mounts, also causing it to stay on.
Perhaps it need adjustment to turn off the light.
If the lift gate has been sprung or is not exactly where it was when new, you might be able to adjust it somehow to work.
Like if the gate does not come close enough, you might glue or screw a piece of metal on to the contact surface to make it turn off the light.
My sad suspicion is, put a piece of tape over the light!
That is what I have had to do in a few cases.
Be blessed.

2003 Saturn Vue rear liftgate won't open

The easy part is you just need the latch for the liftgate. The hard part is getting to it and opening the liftgate to replace the latch. You should be able to pull the liftgate trim off most of the way with the gate closed and try to manually actuate the latch to open the gate. You may have to go so far as breaking the latch from the inside to open the gate and then replace your latch.
