Auto Liftgate Troubleshooting
But then I'll drop my stuffed animals and get them dirty...
I had a similar problem. Dealer wanted $700 to fix. I brought a pair of used hydraulic lifters on eBay for $150 - problem solved. Took about an hour to install start to finish using the posted vid as my guide. Not hard to do at all.
Strange solution
So, I had this problem today after disconnecting the battery to reset the CPU. In the end, I tried a number of things, but it would not even close manually, which you should be able to do regardless of automatics function. In the end I rotated the shock on its mounts and the two shock component pieces with respect to each other and it allowed me to close it manually afterwards. I then used the key fob to test opening an closing and it worked fine. So, I suspect that the shocks being even a small bit off expectations can cause the sensors to block closing to protect the shocks themselves.
Can you tell me where the shocks are located, please?
can you tell me where the shocks are located in the trunk please? I’m having the same problem.
