2008 Expedition liftgate problem

My son shut the liftgate manually instead of using the inside button in the back. Now it won't lift at the latch. Works fine from the dash button and remote button. Just not the latch button. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this?

That happened to my son’s Edge - he was closing it manually too.

I closed it using the button on the lift gate, and the button to open it worked after that. Try that. Maybe somehow it resets it.

I tried that. There's a button in the back on the inside wall you're supposed to use to close it. When I use it to close it then try to use the button on the liftgate, still doesn't work

Could always try a total reset by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

It’s also possible that the button is worn out or just broke.

Try the 'initializing' process. I don't know if that is in the Owners Manual but it is in the Service Manual.
This may solve the problem. Sorry I don't remember how to do it.
