Yup, for the rear hatch, it can be the light itself (corroded position of the switch), the hatch latch (positions switch is inside the latch mechanism) or hatch wiring.
Check the door ajar indicator first (cluster) to verify hatch wiring and latch switch, then go from there. Do the rest of the functions in the hatch work? (window, wiper, defroster, license plate lights)
