Can i buy a comma? says vanna white?? LOL !
ok, the battery drains, so you got a DRAIN, called phantom drain.
or dark current.!!
we use a thing called an AMMETER (DMM) to find all drains, easy

do you have one, want to learn or just wanting wild guessing.

on any 08 liberty, we check the scan tool data.
oops it shows battery low, wow even the PCM sees that.

new batteries do not fix drain.
nor dead alternators.

get it serviced, by a pro. ?

1: charge battery (rested its 12.6vdc )
2: start engine, scan tool shows, what DTC errors (post em')
3: battery voltage is , 13.3, to 15vdc running, if not charge system is faulting.
4: ok all that is ok, i then key off and measure bettery cable neg lug drain current, if 0.010a to 0.040a its ok, if over 0.1 amps its a drain.
we then find the drain cause, ASK? its not hard with a meter.
but i bet all you wanted is a wild guess.

SOURCE: gate light on even when gate is closed

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.

Had error message "gate". After opening and closing my rear gate,(2010 Jeep Liberty), interior lights went on. Made it to work. Tried to start car after work and the battery was dead.

scan it.
the CEL lamp on running means. "SCAN ME.," now.

the gate warning means just that, gate in ALarm.
and needs to be repaired.

Gate message is on dashboard. Gate is closed interior lights won't go off. What can I do?

Check the wires first. At the top of the gate, there is a rubber boot. Wires break here first. after that, replace the gate latch.

The rear gate is the rear door at the back of the vehicle..Open and shut it to make sure it is latched...Then wear safety glasses disconnect negative battery cable to clear codes ..reconnect then try to start it..You shouldn't have the code once gate is shut however disconnecting the battery will erase all codes...Also make sure both battery cables are tight....

Interior lights will not turn off

every car has , switch to latch it on, or even kill it full time .
the operators guide covers this.
some cars have.
  1. a lever side of lamp,(turn to off)
  2. or you push on lens (dome) to turn if off. plush, clickh, ahhhhhhh
  3. if all are on, the head light stack has a dome switch on my new jeep and you turn that off.
  4. if that all fails that means the security switches see a door open
  5. and most jeeps show in dash error, "DOOR ", for that error, or with EVICs options tells you which door is stuck open , on some cars you can use a scan tool and will tell you which door is faulting. My jeep allows that too. scan errors.
  6. but why not read the operators guide, all this is covered, for every car made, all !!! lost it? get one. and not be stranded for all other easy fixes...... RTM , no RTM twice.

2005 Jeep liberty dome lights do not come on when doors open and dash lights are dimmed

that's programmable on all cars.
old cars, a lever on Dome lamp or others on the HL stalk a mode.
HL = head lamps
my new car no light levers.
IT has a party mode, cute how now that old feature for 100 years
gets a name. PARTY, as all doors open for tail gate party and no light drain on battery. (death) my 08 JK has that.(wrangler)

all this is in the operators manual. in the glove box.
page 94 in mine (word not in index.party)
quote
When a door is open and the interior lights are on,
rotating the dimmer control all the way down to the OFF
detent will cause all the interior lights to go out. This is
also known as the "Party mode" because it allows the
doors to stay open for extended periods of time without
discharging the vehicle's battery." unquote, RTM?

im sure its in your book but a different page,
i got the PDF for my car, (all of them) and can search any key word.
a blessing that is....
