Hatch says it's open but it's not

That is very strange. The brown wire gets grounded (connected the the white/black wire) to make the light come on.

So, either that brown wire is shorted between the light and the hatch, or the wire that feeds the body ECU the door open signal is shorted. That wire runs from a junction connector by the light up under the dash.

For the heck of it, pull off connector 4A from the under-dash fuse panel and see if it then works properly.
