Is the door switch damaged, or does it need adjusting? Is the connector plug to the switch properly connected?

SOURCE: Gas cap warning light is on. Gas cap is tight.

If the cap is tight then you need to replace the fuel cap. the light will go off when cap is replaced

SOURCE: the open door warning light indicator does not go off .

There is a problem with the door switch the door is not pushing the switch in completely. Here is what you do close all the doors, then you open them one at a time with all the other still closed. start with the drivers door. open and look for the pin with that the door touches when you close its on the bottom close to the back of the driver's seat it has a black rubber covering it. Press with your thumb in and see if light goes out. Check all other doors in the same way you will see which door switch is not being pressed in completely when door closes. If you find it a quick fix is to pad the area on the door that makes contact with the switch to push it in, for example you can use one of those round sticky cushions that you use on the metal chair legs to prevent them from scratching your wood floor. However if you can solve the problem in this way you may have to take it to electrical mechanic or I will be able to provide more help. contact me and leave me a feedback. Good LUCK

SOURCE: rear hatch door won't lock dash light showing

You need to tighten the lock mech on the boot lid. this will close the boot just enough more to turn the light on. It's no biggy, you might need a star driver depending on bolt head. move it into the boot lid approx 4mm to start. then 1mm until 10mm. if no joy then it may be the sensor.
All the best

Malfunction indicator light jeep 2009 wrangler

I too have had the warning on the dash indicating: "GAS CAP". It is a generic code for anything to do with the fuel cap, filler hose, or overflow, including the charcoal cannister evaporative recovery system. Sometimes it is an easy fix, to simply replace the gas cap. If people consistently twist the cap past the point where it clicks, after closing = it can wear out the cap, and prevent a good seal. However, a large majority of people have overfilled their tank too many times and the evaporative cannister is full and the overflow line is clogged or kinked. Start with the cheap solution first, gas cap.
My problem started after running the extreme obstacle course at Daytona Beach Jeep Beach 2013 at which point I pulled the cannister off the bottom and had to replace it. There are no skid plates protecting it and it would be easy for sticks etc. to get jammed up in and around that cannister while even mildly off road. Crawl under and follow the filler hose down from the passenger rear of the vehicle. The charcoal cannister is approx the size of 2 loaves of bread and sits just forward of the axle, next to the drive shaft.
Good luck.

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is showing an amber warning light on the instrument cluster shaped like a motor but with door-like features on 4 sides. It remains lit while the other idiot lights go...

this configuration of light usually depicts a door is open or ajar. this could be caused by a door switch, the hood switch, the hatch switch, even your gas cap door might cause this to come on.
i would say that a proccess of elimnation would be the best course to take. start with one door open it and push the switch by hand untill you find the switch that makes the dash light go out.

if the doors when opened turn on the interior light and turn it off when closed the switch on these doors is good. these switches are either located in the door jam by the hinges or on the very end of the dash board.
the hood switch when you open the hood should allow the light on the bottom side of the hood to come on. pushing down on the switch should turn the light off.
this procedure should help you locate the problem switch

My 1997 Jeep Grand Cheroke's doors close funny. Both of them don't close smoothly. Anyone else have this problem? It's not when the door latches it's during the close, like something is bent but it's on...

Each door has two hinges. The bottom hinge has a lever spring and two rollers attached that prevents the door from swinging freely when it is opened or closed. (one roller for opening and one for closing) If the door seems like its bent, it is probably because the rollers are frozen and when you open/close the door the lever spring is scraping across the raised edges of the rollers instead of riding them. If the door is not moving smoothly, or is making loud creaking noises, give a good dose of WD-40 to the hinges as well as the rollers, especially the rollers. The rollers should roll when the lever spring engages it as you open/close the door.
