Question Need some help!!

Ok, so the trunk (lift gate) was rattling a little, so I bring the car in to the dealer, and they adjust the anchor latch, the one mounted to the car body, not the latch on the lift gate itself. They also adjusted the two rubber bumper stops. So I take the car home, no more rattle...excellent...but now the dome light is stuck on. I bring it back, and they say its a short in the dome light assembly. I think they don't know what they're doing. Here's where I need some help.

Please open your lift gate, then manually close the latching mechanism, and tell me if your dome light turns off. Mine does not. There are two positions for the latch, the 1st is easy to close, then push it a bit more, and the final position will be reached. Does you dome light go out in either position? Mine does not.

Next with the latch in the 2nd closed position, gently close the lift gate, just so that the latch physically touches the bracket on the frame of the car. Does the dome light slowly fade to off after 10 seconds or so. Mine does. I think the have over adjusted the latch on the frame, and I'm not making the appropriate connections. This will really help me out.
