#83 of 92 Re: Swing Gate on 2004 XUV [boomtap] by ljhayes May 21, 2009 (4:06 am)
Replying to: boomtap (Feb 01, 2007 7:26 am) Well, i have tried this and it works from time to time. Use your key and roll your back window down. Open the gate as a tailgate and try to manually unlock the top latch. You have to pull the plastic panel off, and reach in and theres a metallic manual release near the latch. You are getting the connection, but your latch may be stuck. I am currently working on the project myself. However, mine is the bottom latch used for tailgate operation. It won't lock and unlock, it gets the signal but i believe the latch is jammed or quit functioning. If this helps.

Replying to: mkristian (Mar 03, 2007 2:56 pm) This is a very easy repair if you have the time. All you do is take the plastic panel off, then use a 10mm socket and remove the 9 bolts on the black piece. You also have to remove the regulator (3 screws). Then with your window up, there are 4 bolts i think between 7/16, 1/2, or 9/16 that hold your back panel in. Remove those and any obstructions, and it pops right off. Then there are clips that hold the switches in place. With pliars just squeeze and push. Replace switches and use nut and bolt configuration or get the clips. There are also screws to remove if you dont desire to use the pliars method.

Ma'am: Your Envoy (and mine) have over 20 different microswitch modules in them, many in the ignition system. Perhaps someone more familiar with them than I can pinpoint your problem, but I am thinking you are going to have to resort to the dealer for a diagnostics check. I am afraid it might be expensive, unless they are lucky in tracing it quickly. One thing you might try before taking it to the dealer is --- put a battery charger on it (be sure to connect to the battery-not the fuse panel, and DO NOT disconnect the battery) and charge it all the way to FULL. Sometimes that will correct any 'reversed polarity that may have occurred. That worked to repair my radio. My 2005 XUV is now working great. Gene C.

Replying to: gene37 (Sep 08, 2009 6:47 pm) thanks. but i just put a new battery in it. so it is fully charged. one guy said it might be a sensor another guy said it might be a valve that opens up in the tank to release fuel to the engine. he said it might be stuck and wouldn't be a problem to fix except for the fact they would have to drop the fuel tank.

Ok, here goes. I have a 2004 Envoy XUV, and have replaced the swing gate latches on the left side about 6 times in the last year. The first set I purchased, and GM has replaced the other 5 under their parts warranty, which by the way is 1 year or 12000 miles whichever comes first. And the warranty if from the original date of purchase, and not on the subsequent parts that are replaced. Any way the latches have failed again. Anyone have any suggestions on this. Also, I replaced the battery in the vehicle, and now the Onstar has quit working, the vehicle says, "Phone unavailable". And it does it when the ignition switch is turned on, the hood or any door is opened, and it wont quit. Any suggestions on this also? I am a pretty good mechanic, and can handle most things, but this is driving me nuts. Replies to this message: gene37 (Oct 10, 2009 8:29 pm)

Replying to: pocket (Oct 10, 2009 5:42 pm) I have a 2005 XUV. So far, no gate latch problem; so cannot help you there. Did the Onstar problem happen as soon as you replaced battery? Disconnecting or replacing batteries in those vehicles seems to be plagued with problems. You likely reversed the polarity of one of the 30 or so electronic modules. When I disconnected the battery in the 2005, the radio quit. The Dealer said he could not reprogram it, and I would have to buy a new radio at $800. Instead, I took it home, disconnected the battery again, charged it to "Full" after re-connecting, and the radio came on. Make sure you charge on the battery positive pole and the main engine ground, NOT the fuse box poles. Might or might not help. My dim lights (not damn lights) just went out this week. May be one of those modules or just a switch - no time to check yet.
