My ford escape tailgate switch stopped working, the glass worked fine and opened with the switch. I ruled out the fuse as both I believe work off the same fuse. I removed the back panel to access the mechanism and found that, I could get the tailgate to work if I disconnected the wire from the glass tailgate switch and as the wire connecter (shown In picture) was reinserted it would energize the tailgate switch and I am able to open the tailgate. I would appreciate any input as to what the actual problem is. I initially thought that it could be the tailgate switch itself but having seen what is happening I really am at a loss to what is the problem
Just as an update it was the switch, i changed it out everything works fine now. I noted that that area is not very weather resistant, I think that contributed to the switch failure. Hopefully this may help someone if they experience the same thing as I did. Now to the next issue I have, that of the AC/ heater fan.
