#1 of 2 04 power liftgate has a mind of it's own by tkd_mommy Sep 29, 2009 (10:47 am)
I have an 04 navigator that has been doing some odd things and before I take it to the dealership I'd like some input (I have a family member who is an ASE mechanic so it would be nice if he could do the work for me)   (I only use the remote to open and close..never manually) when I close it with the remote the liftgate will come down and then go back up..as if something is blocking it (there is nothing there) so I have to close it with the remote and when it gets down to the point where it slows to latch I physically have to push it closed to get it to latch..otherwise I would be in an endless loop of it opening and closing. Sometimes when I get in the car and start it up I will have the "Liftgate ajar" message..so I have to turn off the car, get out open the liftgate and then push it closed at the end of the cycle. There is no rhyme or reason to this happening. There are also times where I will go out to the truch and the lights on the mirrors are on as are the interior lights...so again, open the liftgate and when it gets to the end push it closed.   Randomly there are times that the remote won't work. It won't lock or unlock (Both remotes when this happens) won't open the glass or the liftgate. Then I have to start the car and turn it off. Then the remotes will work. Today the remotes would do everything EXCEPT the liftgate.   Please, for the love of God, help me figure this out. Today my battery died because the lights were on when I went into class and I didn't notice it...needless to say I had to get my battery jumped.   Oh I should mention that we tried the resetting the car battery by disconnecting it.

Replying to: tkd_mommy (Sep 29, 2009 10:47 am) My '04 navigator does the same thing! now it is to the point where even if i push the liftgate button inside the truck.. the liftgate will not open. the handle on the liftgate isn't opening it either... i have to PULL the liftgate hard to open it then manually shut it with force.
