Unless there is a way to totally disable this circuit (fuse? which one? wire snip? which one?, etc?) it looks like a bit of black tape at the left end of the cluster will be the way to go, and then check each time the tailgate is closed that it is actually closed. The same thoughts apply to the door latch except hat in that case there is the beeping noise to contend with. SHEESH!
Easy fix is:
- Remove broken pieces and spring. The hatch and lock will work normally without them. They are there to trigger the open sensor, nothing mission critical.
- Defeat the open light/sensor by pinning the microswitch shut.
All works fine now, no cost, but you lose the hatch warning function.
Remove broken bits.
