It seems that I have a short in my wires. My tail lights wont stay on. My problem is the lift gate is stuck and I cannot access the lights. When u use the remote to open the doors it makes a funny sound. It opens the doors but the lift wont open. Is there some way to open to access lighting panel.

This sounds like a signal/switch issue. Check the tail lift switch. It may be a button built into either the tailgate or the frame it sits in. It'll will probably be a spring loaded button that is pushed in when the lift gate is closed.
Also check the wire harness that feeds from the body to the lift gate. These flex every time you open and close the lift gate so the wires inside can wear out or snap over time.

2010 GC. USA,
dome lights stuck on, caused by, door switches stuck on.
cause:

1. switch bad
2. adjusted wrong
3. jammed up.
4. wires shorted to the switch.

The lift gate activates a contact. This contact must be integrated in the frame of the lift gate. The contact does not switch.
Either it has to be adjusted (mechanical in right position) or it is defective, then you have to replace it.
Regards Mike (Germany)

Has anyone suggested replacing the BCM (body control module)

Check fuse #19 in the rear fuse panel. If OK, you may have a bad Lift Gate Module (LGM) or a broken wire in the wire harness between the lift gate and the body (in the area of the rubber boot)

I hope this is an easy fix, but I doubt it!
Try to locate the switch, it should be a push button, that opens when you lift the rear gate, and closes when you close the rear gate.
If that switch is broken, it will stay on.
Also, the switch, usually made of plastic, could have fallen down inside the hole where it mounts, also causing it to stay on.
Perhaps it need adjustment to turn off the light.
If the lift gate has been sprung or is not exactly where it was when new, you might be able to adjust it somehow to work.
Like if the gate does not come close enough, you might glue or screw a piece of metal on to the contact surface to make it turn off the light.
My sad suspicion is, put a piece of tape over the light!
That is what I have had to do in a few cases.
Be blessed.

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.

Remove the interior trim panel which will not be easy since the gate is up ---- you can then access the lock mechanism and will probably find a bent linkage rod or a broken plastic retainer clip.

You have a short. I had a similar problem with my 1990 Jeep limited and the short was in the rear where the wires go into the rear lift gate. Access the wire harnesses behind the rear left panel and try unplugging connectors to trace which circuit is shorting out. You might need to run some new wires to replace any that might be worn and have exposed wiring which is causing fuses to blow. As with any electrical problem you MUST be methodical and patient or have enough cash to pay a shop to track down your problem and then tell you 20 other things you really don't need fixed. GL!
