Do your interior lights stay on also, or is it just the door ajar light that stays on? There may be a relay somewhere in this lighting circuit that the dealer needs to check out.The 4 door switches are easy to check. You can check that the spring loaded pin switch plunger under the black rubber boot in each door jamb is moving freely in and out.. Haven't spotted where the switches for the rear door or hatch glass are yet..

Any Suggestions?You said rear hatch, but did you also check the glass hatch?I know you can pop open the hatch, but it still looks closed yet will cause the door ajar light to illuminate.
