Remove the interior trim panel which will not be easy since the gate is up ---- you can then access the lock mechanism and will probably find a bent linkage rod or a broken plastic retainer clip.

SOURCE: Toyota 4runner gate window, wiper, and keyless entry not working

make sure the back window is all the way up then try the wiper, if it still does not work then it is a sensor for the rear window (about $30.00) if you installed it yourself

SOURCE: 1997 Grand Cherokee. Tail gate wont open. Handle

These rear hatches have a cheesy rod and clip setup. You have to remove the panel from inside, you have to loosen the screws around the hatch and pull it away and reach in down toward the latch and open it that way so you can get the 2 screws out of the bottom easier. There is a peice of plastic in these that's a dust barrier, try not to tear it up too badly, and when you go to put it back, I use a spray adhesive to stick it back on while I put the panel back on. after you get it open you will see a rod with what looks like threads hanging there attached to nothing, and a little thing that has 2 notched areas and a clip to hold that rod into those 2 notches. bend the clip down to make it tighter and then force the rod back into place that should fix your problems. If that's all in place then it's the latch mechanism, usually they can't be fixed because parts aren't available, just have to buy a new one and put it in.

Testimonial: "Thanks very much, I'll give it a try. It's a bugger getting the inside panel off, I tried a few times unsucessfully."

How to get the tailgate unstuck

If you can't do it with the handle,then remove the screws holding the square cover on the middle inside of the tail gate and open,could be broken on the inside,must open to see. I have a 85 nissan 720 and had to fix mine before,my handle on the inside broke and I replaced it,think it was about 11 bucks,autozone has the part,may need a pair of plyers to pull rod to release it to lower tail gate.

2001 Jeep Cherokee, hatch door does not lock electronically, only when the hatch is 3/4 way open or more. So, locking mechanism works electronically, just not when the hatch is shut.

on the inside of the tailgate, at the top, there are two rubber grommets through which the wiring passes through from the body to the tail gate. I think the lock wires go through the one on the driver's side. Over time some of these wires break due to constant back and forth of the opening and closing of the tailgate.

In your case, when you open it 3/4 way open, the broken wire just barely makes re-contact with the other broken end.
I found the best solution is to remove the electrical connector from the tail gate, remove the grommet to find the broken wire, then solder a new piece and use heat shrink tubing to insulate it.

Auto tailgate warning light is on dash board but tailgate closed.

I have a similar problem, my tailgate stopped working with the outside handle and the remote but can be opened manually from the inside. I don't have an alarm so there is no problem with that but did you get a solution for the tailgate problem that I could try?

Tailgate will not open

Hello and thank you for using FixYa!

To get the tailgate open, you will need to get into the back of your truck and remove the inside panel of the tail gate to access the latchs. Once you get in there, you can check operation and make the repairs you need to get your tail gate working again.

Thanks Jay!
