Default Glass Hatch Issues

I really don't know how to start this one, but the "hatch ajar" warning is on all the time for a 2000 Corvette my sister owns. It's on 100% of the time and it's not fuse related from what we can tell.
Has anyone ever had this problem, know how it's fixed, or know where the electrical schematics for the hatch can be found?

Keep the wave alive

My guess is there has to be some sort of sensor back there that can tell when the hatch is fully latched. I'd bet that it needs replacement, but I'm not sure what the procedure requires. My repair manuals are all packed right now for our upcoming move. Perhaps you could get ahold of Patches and see if he can help.
