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.
What lamps were you having a problem? So there is a lamp on your dash that says tail gate is open? There is usually a switch or sensor for that?
Maybe I misunderstood your problem?
If the tail gates lamps at the rear are staying on, no matter what you do, I'd have to check wiring diagrams for that lamp control.
obviously a problem with the auto mechanism , is there a sensor located , see your owners manual, in a particular area that has to bee kept clear and you may have inadvertantly placed something over the sensor , just guess as something must be telling the tailgate to shut , with the age of vehicle is it still covered under makers warrenty ? i'll look into the sensor thing
lower tail gate then remove tailgate access cover either handle broken or look inside tail gate for latch rods that the handle moves latch rod either damaged or look for loose or missing latch rods nuts.
The sensor of the tail gate can be faulty that's why it says open even though it's secured. I strongly suggest that you have the sensor replaced. You can find this inside the lid.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
Open the tail gate, and you will see on the side of the tail light housing two screws that you will need to unscrew in order to take the housing out. If it is the tail light ,that is on the actual gate, open the tail gate and remove the plastic bed liner there are few of screws that need to be removed. Hope this helps you fix it.
