There is a push button switch in the door jamb for the lift gate. look closely and you will find it. when the door is shut the button is pushed and the interior lights and open door warning go off. it is broken and you need a new one. this will be a dealer item and it snaps or screws in. when you get the new switch you may want to pay someone with mechanical aptitude to replace it.

SOURCE: liftgate open light stays on all the time

Look for the pin switch on the body where the lift gate is. The switch could be stuck, broken, or corroded. Theres a pin switch on every door to turn on the inside lights, and sometimes they fail. Make sure it is clean, and moves easily. If its stuck, a shot of WD-40 will get it going again. If no matter what you do, you cant get it working properly, replace it.

It could be a bad door ajar switch on the tailgate. You would have to put a scanner on it to see which door the computer tells you is grounded.

If you liftgate is latched properly, check the liftgate switch by taking apart the plastic covers around the latch and manually testing the switch.

2008 Jeep says lift gate open but it's not. Interior lights stay on

This sounds like a signal/switch issue. Check the tail lift switch. It may be a button built into either the tailgate or the frame it sits in. It'll will probably be a spring loaded button that is pushed in when the lift gate is closed.
Also check the wire harness that feeds from the body to the lift gate. These flex every time you open and close the lift gate so the wires inside can wear out or snap over time.

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.

GATE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF

Probably a lift gate latch, the switch that turns the light on in the dash is part of the latch, also check the wiring inside the rubber tube at the top of the lift gate door when it's open, could be a broken wire in there

2004 grand caravan some dome lights stay on rest shut off normally

Is there perhaps a problem with the dome light switch on the lift gate? Close all the doors, open only the lift gate and find the switch on the lift gate frame (usually a rubber covered "bump") and press it in. You might have a loose wire shorting against the bodywork or the door is not depressing the switch properly.
