Non functional liftgate button.

[ukrkoz]

I have 07 Tahoe LTZ.
Liftgate opens from fob or from the overhead button.
Handle button on the liftgate produces no result.
rear glass window button liftgate works fine.
Fuse #44, which is rear door fuse, is not blown.
Any more fuses to look at or, what else is wrong?

Its probably the switch in the handle.

That's what I was told. How do I get to it?

1. You’re lucky you have a way to still release to hatch without drilling the trim to access the manual release.

2. I understand you have to remove the inner trim, all of it, from the hatch to remove the handle to then replace the switch.

Figures,
Thank you

I’ve heard about the issue, but haven’t experience it yet. I did have the glass switch fail on one of mine.

Make sure all the doors are unlocked when trying to open the liftgate with the outside button on the rear handle.

I had it replaced yesterday. About 30 min job. It works fine now. Only ALL locks have to be unlocked for it to operate. 2 fob unlock presses and then it works.
No need for needle noses, plenty of room to get to all the nuts and bolts, as soon as the rear panel is removed.

That's the way mine work.

I also recently got new fobs, that have the remote start button among others. The glass release button works on the fobs. I kept wondering why i had the hatch open warning. Turns out the button was being pressed in my pocket.

The button pulls out from exterior w/ needle nose pliers. New button clips back on harness and button is pushed back in w/o disassembling a thing.
