The sensor for the lift gate will beep when we are driving, especially when we turn right. We took the back all apart, disconnected everything, and it still beeped. Is there a sensor some where else in the car, that is connected to the screen in the front?

“We took the back all apart, disconnected everything, and it still beeped.”

?? That wins some kind of a prize for vagueness.

Chances are that the contacts for the lift gate sensor are in the door latch mechanism itself and that the wiring for it runs inside of the body panels. Spray the living heck out of the liftgate latch with electronics cleaner, relube the latch, and then see what happens.

Of course - I’m just guessing about the location for those contacts.
