What is wrong with tailgate wont open

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.

An electric tailgate release needs power and it is possible the wiring has internal breaks where it passes from the body to the tailgate. This isn't unusual.

The only way is to get inside and remove the interior tailgate trim and troubleshoot and provide independent power if necessary to open it.

more then likely the linkage to lock cylinder came off. you will need to take it apart. sorry.

Open trunk problem

It is controlled through an electronic relay mounted in tailgate handle. If it has some rust then it doesn't close the circuit to release the lock. just clean the relay switch and it'll work (but to unmount this handle you'll need to open the gate first and then you'll access the switch by removing the plastic trim from inside the tailgate or better let it done by a mechanic or car electrician).

Remove the trim panel from inside the car and release the push rod that works the lock and you can manualy open it.

We have the same problem, remove the panel on inside tailgate and you will find the handle broken, it is made out of pot metal. You need new handle from dealer or salvage yard.

there was a problem with these where the boot latch mechanism breaks internally so although the elctrics work the tailgate wont open result tailgate needs broken into best to speak to your local landrover dealer or specialist

Need alittle more info. Is the handle lifting with little to no resistance, but the tailgate wont release, or can you feel the latch release but it is just jamed and won't open?
