    2007 Tahoe Rear Gate Won't Open Auto or Manual

    Thanks for posting this. I’ve tried through step 3, but for whatever reason the latch just will not release. I’ve tried pressing up, down, left, right, and nothing works. I’ll keep fooling around with it to see if it’ll finally give.

    Sounds like I need to invest in one of those… ha

    [/MEDIA] I agree. The problem is I can’t even open the rear gate to replace any of those parts.

    What do you mean by the “deck lid?”

    2007 Tahoe Rear Gate Won't Open Auto or Manual

    I’ve watched a number of those videos, and I’m doing what seems like the same thing as what they’re doing, but my latch just won’t release unfortunately. It seems as if it’s permanently jammed. What would reading codes help with? I don’t think this is an electrical issue. It seems more like a...

    2007 Tahoe Rear Gate Won't Open Auto or Manual

    Yes, that's where I Yes, that's where I made the hole. And it's previously worked for me before (i.e. using the screwdriver to manually release the latch). However, when I try now, I can feel something like a button or a lever inside the hole, but the latch just never releases no matter how...

    2007 Tahoe Rear Gate Won't Open Auto or Manual

    I have a 2007 Tahoe that's been having issues with the rear tailgate not opening. First the automatic opening failed (I think it's the gear that lifts the gate that has an issue), but I could still manually open the gate. At some point, the latch near the handle also failed, to the point that I...

    Lift Gate Won’t Open (Manually or Auto)

    Well I did what’s shown in the video above, and was able to get the gate open, but then I couldn’t shut it. It took some tinkering, but I was finally able to release the lock mechanism so I could close the gate again, but now it won’t open. I think the issue might be the actuator. For whatever...

    Lift Gate Won’t Open (Manually or Auto)

    Gotcha. I replaced those a few years ago when the hydraulics went out and the gate wouldn’t stay up on its own, so I think those are ok now. It’s the mechanism that automatically lifts and lowers the gate that seems to be broken (in addition to the latch near the handle).

    Lift Gate Won’t Open (Manually or Auto)

    Are those located above the rear, driver side wheel? It sounds like there’s a gear in there that won’t engage properly, thus the auto lift feature doesn’t work anymore.

    Thanks! I’ll try this out and see if it works on my vehicle.

    Lift Gate Won’t Open (Manually or Auto)

    The lift gate on my 2007 Tahoe will no longer open either manually or automatically. First the auto feature stopped working with the main problem being the lift gear/mechanism above the driver side rear wheel. At that point I could still manually open the lift gate. However, recently the main...

    Oil pressure has been fine too. I've not noticed any issues at all.

    Just a quick update here. I’ve now gone over 3 weeks and 200+ miles of driving, and the check engine light has stayed off. Hopefully it was just the MAF sensor all along (although I won’t be surprised if something else comes up soon).

    Yes, that can certainly help too!
