Power Liftgate Malfunction

[tahirwajeeh]

Hi. I have a 2015 V6 technology trim in Canada. My power liftgate has suddenly started to malfunction. It gets stuck halfway while opening and then I am forced to push it manually to open in full. While closing sometimes it work normally but sometimes it goes only halfway. Then pressing the button again makes it close. Did anyone else have this problem? I'm guessing this may be an expensive fix at the dealer. Thanks

Assuming your speaking of the trunk lid,

Haha yes that's what I meant

Might try disconnecting one of the battery cables for a minute or two and then reconnecting it....know new owners have been warned not to close the trunk manually if at all possible....Use the power buttons.

For some people it’s the back up camera for others the tail lights for me it was the open and close switch. Check out that thread you should be able to figure it out

And yes you are correct the dealer fix is replacing the entire wire harness for thousands $$$

I just checked the open and close switch. It looks perfect with no wear or damage on it and the rubber looks almost new.

The first time I had this issue was just after I was driving in the worst rain of the season and almost right after when I opened the trunk it happened the first time. I did notice that one of the arms (right side one) which fold into the trunk had some water drops on it. Just wondering if water got inside and messed up the electronics. Do you think that's possible?

You didn’t look at the entire thread did you? If you go through the entire thread and look at the pictures that we posted you will see that on the right side at the elbow the wires are prone to breaking. Go through the entire thread and look at our pictures and you will see what I’m talking about

It doesn’t have to do with the rubber cover that is just where the information is located

You can fix it with about $10 worth of materials if in fact that is your problem
