I fixed the problem.
The switch was not adjustable (the switch that turns on the hatch interior light), but it needed to be held further open. I simply capped it with a 5/16 inside diameter plastic cap - one used for capping those wire closet shelving pieces, when you cut them to length - available at Home Depot if you don't have any...
That holds the switch down further and when you close the drivers side door after pressing the hatch release switch, the car interior air compression doesn't lift the lid enough to make the switch contact.
It worked great. ps. I cut the cap to a shorter length....
