I have a 2003 Expy. I have gone through all of the problems with the locks on the doors. Now my liftgate won't open. The glass opens with no prolblem, but the liftgate will not. Any ides on cause, and how to fix? THANKS!!!!!

 

I had a problem with my liftgate, about a year ago. You can hear the power door locks actuate, but when you pull on the tailgate handle, nothing happens, the tailgate will not open. There is a linkage between the handle and the release mechanism and it had become disconnected/broken. If you are able to get the tailgate open, then your task will be easier, you need to remove the interior panel of the tailgate to access the assembly.

 

I got the inside trim taken off, and I was able to manually move the switch to the unlocked position. I was bale to get gate open. I can't fing a replacement part for the actuator. Is Ford the only place I can get it? Does anyone have a part number for this part?

Thanks!!!!!
