Hey everyone! Anyone ever have an issue with the rear tailgate not power opening by rear button or by foot intermittently? I did a little read up on it and if the vehicle has been sitting without moving the rear tailgate wont open, it will unlatch but not raise. I did a battery test and its "full" and the vehicle does drive almost every day. Just annoying and hate to tie it up at dealer if its something I can do.

Thanks for any ideas!

Hey I have the same issue right now but if lock the car on my fob and press the trunk release button in the car, the trunk opens. The trunk closes perfectly everytime through any button(trunk/inside/foot/Fob) so I’m wondering if it’s some sort of electrical issue.

I’ve tried taking out the fuses and re-installing but still no luck.

Hey Protor,

so I open the trunk, close it manually by pulling the tailgate down.

Can you please confirm the next part “close car by remove and open”?

Thanks for the help!
