On video below it talk about adjustment of latch. If not opening right move latch around and attempt to open liftgate..
You might try closing latch with door open and push button to see latch open up. If it opens fine it could be binding when door is actually closed and latch needs adjusting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmPIx4GuEkc
I have a 17 Terrain which does not have power lift gate. Something I notice in the video was if you have power lift gates it says to step back when opening and closing because there are sensors to prevent someone from being hit with the door.
Has to have it .
Liftgate Trim Panel Plug
Procedure
From inside the vehicle lower the second and third, if applicable, row seats.
Use a small flat-bladed tool to remove the access plug from the liftgate lower interior trim panel.
Push on a silver lever located on the right just through the access hole to unlock the liftgate.
Open the liftgate from the outside of the vehicle using the exterior handle.
Hi, viewers. The liftgate latch of 2008 Acadia is electrically controlled by switches, fuses, modules, and sensors. If for some reason the liftgate doesnt seem to open under the normal operating conditions, you can still open it mechanically if needed.
* First, go inside the vehicle and lower the 2nd and 3rd row seats, and then locate the round access plug (visible and similar to a rubber grommet) from the liftgate lower interior trim panel.
*Second, use a small flatbladed tool to remove that access plug and expose the hole.
*Third, look through the hole and push on a silver lever located on the right to unlock the liftgate.
*Fourth, when unlocked, push the liftgate outward or, you may need an assistant to pull open the liftgate from the outside handle while you push the unlock lever.
Once opened, you can now reflect back as to why your liftgate wont function. I hope you get lucky in your quest. Have a nice day! : )
