Liftgate ajar alert

[Mohannedalamin]

I have a 2012 Explorer xlt and noticed whenever I use the remote to lock the car, 10-20 seconds later the panic alarm starts to go off until I hit unlock.
I noticed when sitting in the vehicle with it running, the “lift gate ajar” icon would light up and flicker very quickly on and off. The lift gate is shut securely. Any ideas what could be the issue?
At the moment I have to keep the vehicle unlocked so the alarm doesn’t keep going off.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you ever get this problem fixed. I’m having the same issue. Lift gate ajar and alarm going off shortly after

Welcome to the Forum.
I doubt the member you quoted is still around. He was last seen here on March 20, 2018. Did you by chance have the Securicode keyless door panel come off? That has at times caused the alarm message. Is the liftgate operational?
