Nitro08,
I have found a TSB on what is called a courtesy light illumination issue. Perhaps it applies to your vehicle. It seems to be related to the lift-gate and not sure you are having a lift-gate chime problem as well.It is the only thing I could find on your issue so I am posting it just in case the two are related. If you are taking it to a dealer to resolve the issue you may just want to mention the TSB to them. The TSB is listed below.
NUMBER: 08-022-07
GROUP: Electrical
DATE: September 15, 2007
SUBJECT:
Intermittent Illumination Of The Courtesy Lamps And Liftgate Ajar Indicator With Chime
Tone
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves switching the wires in the liftgate ajar switch connector.
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro

NOTE: This bulletin applies to all KA/KK vehicles built before August 18, 2007 (MDH
0818XX) and WK/WH vehicles built before September 11, 2007 (MDH 0911XX),
NOTE: This bulletin applies to XK/XH vehicles built before September 11, 2007 (MDH
0911XX) and RT vehicles built before October 22, 2007 (MDH 1022XX) built
without sales code JRC (powerlift gate).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Customers may observe illumination of the courtesy lamps, a chime tone and the liftgate
ajar indicator message illumination when the liftgate is not open. This is caused by
intermittent contact of the liftgate open sensing wire closing the circuit to ground. Swapping
the wires will make the intermittent contact with the body on the ground side wire,
eliminating the false illumination and indicator messages.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the above condition is present, perform the Repair Procedure.
