hi all,
I know this question has been beat to death and I have looked through some threads but I know basically whats wrong but I would like to broadcast the symptoms to you guys and get some feedback before I go buying parts. Liftgate will not respond to Key Fob, Rear handle, interior handle, or door switch. When pushed, nothing makes a noise in back at the motor but lights flash as normal and there is a click in the relay near the engine. Ive drilled an access hole at the dimple on the trim panel to get the door open as that is the only way. On the dash I get the 'Rear Access Open" signal and the rear wiper doesnt work as a result. I can open the liftgate window and have slammed it and still nothing. Based on this, what is your diagnosis...Actuator or motor, or maybe BCM issue. I wanted to mention also that the rear liftgate handle switch on the outside of the door failed about 2 months ago, but all the other options for opening the door worked. Its a 2008 tahoe, 5.3, Z-71, 150,000KMS ( Canada )
