How to wire my tailgate corrected when replacing

It sounds like there may be an issue with the tailgate on your 2014 Equinox. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the tailgate latch: Make sure the latch on the tailgate is not damaged or stuck. You can try lubricating the latch with a penetrating oil to see if that helps.
2. Check the tailgate hinges: If the tailgate is not opening smoothly, the hinges may be damaged or worn. You can try lubricating the hinges to see if that helps.
3. Check the tailgate motor: If the tailgate is not opening or closing properly when you use the switch in the car, the motor that operates the tailgate may be damaged or not functioning correctly. You can try testing the motor to see if it is working properly.
4. Check the wiring: If the tailgate is not opening or closing properly, there may be an issue with the wiring that connects the tailgate to the car's electrical system. You can check the wiring for any damaged or loose connections.

If none of these steps help to fix the issue with your tailgate, it's possible that there is a more serious problem with the tailgate itself. In this case, it's best to consult a mechanic or the manufacturer for further assistance.

i have the ford galaxy a 99 diesel ,my problem was the wires in the rubber boot from body to tailgate ,, ,Just to make sure it doesnt lock itself up i fitted a pull wire from the lock to left side that i pull out with a length of wire , then pull the wire .. Most of the locking is controlled by the drivers side lock as is common with a lot of modern cars so you may need to replace this lock ,, its a sealed unit iam afraid so just replace it .like a lot of the electronics i am well known for by passing them like the immobilisor on the fuel pump ,that is all removed and wire straight to the shut off valve ,, Think its the door lock on your car is the problem BUT i could be wrong

tail gates are completely assembled before fitting on the assembly line and that includes the wiring harness for the gate . So I would expect a harness connector either in side the gate or in a body panel trim close to the gate.

Sound like your tail gate switch has failed or maybe a fuse

I would take these actions :

1. Check fuses
2. Replace Tailgate switch
3. Take to Auto electrician as it could be a short in your wiring harness.

Hope this helps

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear wiper motor output shaft.
3. Using a small thin-bladed tool, gently pry at the notch in the base of the rear wiper motor output shaft bezel to unsnap the nut cover from the bezel .Be certain to take proper precautions to protect the outer tailgate panel and its paint finish from damage during this procedure.
4. Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper motor output shaft to the outer swing gate panel
5. Remove the bezel and gasket from the rear wiper motor output shaft.
6. Remove the trim panel from the tailgate inner panel.
7. Disconnect the tailgate wire harness connector for the flip-up glass ajar switch from the flip-up glass latch connector receptacle.
8. Disconnect the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper motor from the motor connector receptacle
9. Loosen the two screws that secure the rear wiper motor mounting bracket to the top of the tailgate inner panel.
10. Slide the rear wiper motor and mounting bracket forward far enough to disengage the two mounting screws from the keyed slots in the top of the tailgate inner panel.
11. Remove the rear wiper motor and mounting bracket from the tailgate as a unit.

To Install just reverse steps

electric window switch replaced but loating the correct fuse details/wiring details required for replaced tailgate .

push them into a hard surface to re-compress them have a peice of wire handy and this with some muscle on your part help you get the job done

the switch needs to be replaced or theres a bad relay involved.

No there is no bypass. The Motor in my tailgate crapped out on me last year partly to do with a rusted out tailgate that let water in! I replaced my tailgate, but in my research found that the only way to get the window down was to remove the inside panels on the tailgate, un screw the cover plate, and then unbolt the motor to allow the window to drop enough to open the tailgate. Once the tailgate is down it will be easier to see the internals and remove the motor. Hope this helps you
