Look for the pin switch on the body where the lift gate is. The switch could be stuck, broken, or corroded. Theres a pin switch on every door to turn on the inside lights, and sometimes they fail. Make sure it is clean, and moves easily. If its stuck, a shot of WD-40 will get it going again. If no matter what you do, you cant get it working properly, replace it.

I had the same problem it was a loose connection under the dash passenger side which got loose by accidentaly kicking it with my right foot ifs right next to the side panel I think there is one on the driver xide too

your battery is definately finished and as far as the light is concerned i would have it inspected and replaced.normally there is a switch on the tailgate that is not too expensive to replace.as for could the light be the problem ,i doubt it as the light i believe shuts off when you turn off the ignition.if it does stay on than yes it could be the culprit.i would also have the alternator checked at the same time to make sure it is charging the battery.

Open gate and find where the wiring enters the gate (bottom of door) pull back the rubber insulator and check for broken wires or wires touching each other.
