I'm not sure how this question for a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica ended up in a Chevy Equinox Fixya forum but I used to live in Pacifica, CA so I did some research for the heck of it.

From another post in a different forum, I read that it's powered by fuse 11 in the engine compartment. I found some other stuff as well.

I read that there is a possibility of the liftgate connector being loose under the left tailight that could affect the defroster, the liftgate, the movement warning 'dinger' or all.

I read somewhere else that the emergency release is under a 1 inch plug at the bottom of the liftgate trim, on the inside of the car.

Please use this info with extreme caution. I don't actually have any first hand knowledge of the Pacifica, only did some searching. If none of what is listed above matches what you have in your car, please consult a licensed mechanic or Chrysler dealership for clarification. Best of luck.

the 3rd brake light is mounted to the spoiler. you need to remove the spoiler from the liftgate to acces the mounting bolts and the wire clip. there are five points of attachment of the spoiler,four hex nuts (metric) and one snap clip. two are accessable when the liftgate is open, they are in the corners of the liftgate. two more are under the upper rear window interior trim. the interior trim is held on by snap clips. if you pry outward on the trim starting on the right side of the window and work your way toward the middle you will be able to gain access to the two other nuts. once you have removed all four nuts, then close the liftgate and remove the spoiler by lifting up to disengage the last attachment point (snap clip). you will then need to change the light by removing the two nuts and disconnecting the wire clip. re-instal is the opposite of above. make sure that the wire for the third brake light does not get pinched when installed. (mine was improperly installed from the factory and the wire was pinched and this may have been why there was an early failure of the light)

1. Open liftgate. 2. Remove both taillight assemblies by removing 2 hex-head bolts located in the area revealed when the liftgate is opened. 3. Remove 4 plastic retainers on the very bottom of the bumper cover in the rear. 4. Remove 2 phillips head screws in the wheel well rear lip. 5. Remove 4 pop-up plastic retainers in liftgate area.

Bend the bumper cover outward on each side to clear the wheel well lip and remove the bumper. Have a blanket or carpet on the ground to protect the bumper. 8. Remove metal clips from tabs that connect the upper bumper cover to the lower bumper cover. 9. Drill out pop-rivets that connect upper bumper cover to lower bumper cover. 10.
