SOURCE: The tailgate ajar light comes

The switch is built into the door latch (this is the latch that grabs onto the metal ring that is bolted to your cars door opening. If so, it may just be sticking. Use some electronic cleaner to clean the tailgate switch and then use a lubricant to lubricate it.check and see of the switch in the hinge of the any of the other doors have been dislodged or the wires connected to them disconnected or broken /got loose.-------------
If the switch is faulty, then it has to be replaced.It has to be ordered from dealer.------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

2005 Lexus LS430 trunk lid won't close completely

The latch is most likely the issue. If the trunk is used a lot, the latch is misaligned or a foreign object obstructed the latch from closing. The latch itself could be damaged. Carefully inspect the opening of the latch and look for bent, mushroomed or damaged steel. I would have to see to know for sure, how to proceed.
