Power tailgate closes fine but won't open
Here's the latest:
My set up allows for three methods of opening the power tailgate: 1) use the button on FOB 2) Slightly lift the hatch handle 3) Use button on console At this point if I try any of the above methods, the hatch starts making the usual noise, lifts ever so slightly (mm's), gives up and returns to its resting position. If instead, I use the hatch handle and help it get going through the first six inches of upward movement it then continues without issue. Button works fine to close. Any suggestions?

I know there will be an anti-trap sensor to stop it closing on people (though it's whacked me in the shoulder without stopping before - ouch!). I wonder if there is similar on the opening to prevent it getting damaged if inadvertently opened in a confined environment. Perhaps this is being activated somehow?
Or it could be a sign of a falling opening mechanism. |
