When I try to operate the Power liftgate, it unlocks - but won't lift. It unlocks but still stays partly latched even though the lights flashed and the beep has sounded. I can open it manually with the handle but it won't operate in the auto closing direction either. What could be wrong?
Replace the lock on the rear door. If a used lock is used it has to have the powered door. I am a car dealer and have replaced about 8-9 of them. I sell a lot of Town & Country vans. The 1st one I paid a Chrysler dealer to fix. About $200. After that I fix myself. About $70- $125 from a Chrysler dealer new with discount. The lock is not sending the correct code to the computer and the door is confused on what to do. Only 3 torx bolts to remove and the door panel 2 screws in handle then snap off.
On one I had that did not fix the problem and it was a relay sensor about $40. on the working arm / motor of the door and not the lock. Look at car-part.com for used parts. Thanks, Roy

I had a similar problem. Initially, the liftgate would not go up under power. Later, using the latch (manually) would cause a chime, but it would not unlatch real well. Now, the manual latch won't work at all and I need to use the key to open the liftgate.
I guess I need a motor to make the gate go up, and something else to make the latch work. Can you help?
Thanks.
Since the day I bought it used I had trouble. Just took it in to get looked at and was told that it was a problem with the latch and would cost close to $1000 to fix.
The door will beep push out slightly then stop and close itself.
liftgate opens slightly then closes back down
liftgate will not latch shut and light is on
