Q: My lift gate wont open
The lift gate will not open. I press the FOB and I do not hear a sound. I have put the latch release button in the manual mode and I still cannot open the lift gate. The past month before this happened the latch would release but the lift gate would not open we had to pull it open manually. I purchased a new siscor motor that opens and closes the trunk and I installed it yesterday but it had no affect on the issue. I also checked two fuses under the hood (# 70 and # 44 I think) and they are good. How do I get the latch to release and then what is the next step to fix the issue?
