Have them remove fuse #28 in the underhood fuse box for about 30 seconds, then replace and try key fob or cabin switch again ( or remove negataive battery cable for same amount of time and try again). If that doesn't work there may a problem with wiring connector that is underneath vehicle just behind drivers seat.

I had problems with my liftgate for awhile too. My instrument panel started acting up in the dash recently so I needed to go get that fixed as well. When that got fixed, my liftgate opens now!! I had a new computer put in, something along the lines of a new body control module, and it was under the automatic shifter. It cost around $450 or so. Now everything is fine.

There is something on each side that releases the liftgate, if one of them isn't working, its not going to be real easy to correct. I tried to fine how to get into the thing but I can't find the info as of yet. Basicly you have to climb into the back and remove the panel that covers the taligate (bottom part). I think the way to do it is to use special tool they have for trim removal (or use what ever you can I guess) to carefully loosen panel from tabs on top and (again I think) remove screws that hold it on on the bottom. That will allow access to mechanism and you can do what you have to from there. I'll post again if I can find more on procedure and what to look for when you get there.

I still have my rear bottom tailgate panel pulled off because that was where the auto mechanic started to look when I had the problem. Until my Body Control Module was replaced, I was told I could pull both wires on the two black bulky things underneath the panel and it would open. Also, the mechanic broke the panel so I still have to replace it. Wish there would've been an easier way to take it off.
