04 Navigator Lift Gate

Hi all, I have an 04 Navigator I am getting ready to paint for a customer. I had the liftgate opened and was removing the two outside nuts that hold the rear lenses into the gate. Apparently I moved the gate enough for it to start an automatic close. I had air lines and tools in the rear and as it started to close I stopped it. Now it won't close or anything by the switch. I have checked the fuses and the ones I've found via the manual and this site are all good. I didn't know if there might be a reset, a way to reset, a relay or anything. Any ideas and help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rog

Did you try to disconnect the battery for ten to fifteen minutes to reset everything

Yea I did that right after I checked the fuses. I did a 30 minute timeout. All the overhead switches work with the exception of the gate switch. I wouldn't think that stopping it would cause any damage to it. When I grabbed it as it was closing I didn't really apply much pressure at all and it stopped instantly
