Searching for Liftgate Ajar sensor 2015

[Avgjohndoe]

Spent some couple hours physically inpecting the car and that again flipping through this service manual at this point.

Can't seem to locate it.

Picked up a mirage with a damaged hatch. Open door sensor rarely goes off when I close the hatch.

Anyone here able to point toward where I should be looking for the sensor?

I believe that switch (sensor) is part of the liftgate latch assembly.

I believe that switch (sensor) is part of the liftgate latch assembly.

That is along the lines of what I was thinking as I couldn't find wires going anywhere else that made sense for the switch but couldn't exclude it exclusively being wiring for the locking mechanism.

I'll pull it back apart and report if I find anything conclusive.

Hopefully I can determine the exact mode of action.

That is correct it is part of the latch assembly. If you watch this youtube video at around the 2 minute mark you can see that tricking the latch into thinking that the door is closed via screwdriver turns the "trunk" light off: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pmzmnK_q...e=shares&t=120
