Does this light indicate that my tailgate is open?

Knowing what kind of vehicle you're talking about would help...

Sorry about that, It's a 1988 ram 1500 Pickup. Cute little truck but
I've had it for about a year and have only driven it 30 days or so. I
loved it when it did run. 3.9 SMEC. I even got a service manual for it.
I think I keep it around because it's such a , well I guess I don't
really know except I'm. Never mind....... First time posting on this or
any board..

'88?  They didn't go to the four-digit model numbering until '94.  If it's
really an '88, then it's either a D-150 or a W-150.

d-150

I don't have a real answer for you with the exception of the "gate open"
message is a Ramcharger thing.  I have no idea why a D-150 has a bulb or
wiring in that spot.  It would be interesting to find out why it does, but I
think if I were you, I'd just yank the bulb.
