There are micro switches in the tailgate called tailgate ajar sensors, they are attached to the tailgate latch, one or both of them is defective.

Probably just a bad sensor at the tailgate that tells the vehicle the door is closed. Could be a contact closure switch. Same problem but different type of contact.

Computer may need to be reset or replaced that controls these functions. Have professionally checked at a reputable Dodge dealership.

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.

Where is the gate open indecator switch located on 2010 dodge grand caravan

The switch in on the latch itself. When the striker goes into the latch it also trigger the small micro switch.
You can try something like WD40 and spray liberally into the latch and open close it 10 times or so to see if it frees it up.
