I have an '05 J GC Laredo, and cannot get the liftgate open. Is there a fuse or something that I should change out. Also, one of the brake lights is out, and I need to change it before I get a ticket. Anyone know how to get the liftgate to work again???

#25 of 38 01 GC - Tailgate won't open by cvgtpc1

For the last year my locks were making a strange noise when opened or locked. Noise is now gone but now the tailgate won't unlock. I can't find a key lock on the tailgate anywhere to open manually, I guess they assume you'd always have the electronic lock working. How can I get the tailgate open and does it sound like I need to replace the tailgate lock solenoid?

Thanks,
Dennis

I had just about given up when I ran across your 'how to." It saved me a bunch of headaches and I thank you. After getting the gate open I saw the irritatingly under engineered

rod retainer system. After I make the rod retainer tighter I'll give it double protection with safety wire. Thanks again.http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/webx- icons/emotorcons/emo_smiley.gif
