Default my Interior lights won't turn off

just happened out of nowhere the other night, they won't go off even when i lock the door or if it just sits there for a minute. they also stay on when i'm driving. its like it doesn't recognize that the doors are closed. any ideas are appreciated.

thanks,
josh

you pull the carpet back, right where the hatch gets locked down at... and you'll see the wires, just a harness, mine came loose, just squeezed it together and lights turned off, if your not sure what im tlkn about... i can try to take some pics tommorrow.

I checked the wires going to the hatch latch and they all looked connected and my remote will pop the latch. So im getting agravated trying to find why my interior lights and light in my dash stat on telling me my hatch is open when its not. Any body got any ideas om how to fix this.
