I can't get my 95 gmc tailgate to come off. I know that you usually open it alittle and it will come off. But mine will not. So I would like to know if there is a trick to taking a 95 sonoma tailgate off.

With tailgate up u will see two screws (mine are phillips head) .Remove screws and carefully pull as straight out on tail light as you can without turning tail light too far there r two pins which help allign and hold in place on opposite side of screws. U may have to pull with alittle force and then u can get to the light harness :) Mine is also a 2005.

There's a switch between the sunroof switches and the rear seat fold-down switches. That switch deactivates the automatic operation of the tailgate. I hit mine inadvertently and didn't figure it out for a week. The dealer didn't know either.

Mine did that to. I sprayed Rust blaster all around the pivot points inside the handle which freed up the rod that was binding

you might have ice stuck between the tailgate and the base of the car..... mine did that 2

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?

you can usually access the operation handle for the tailgate through a panel located on the bed side of the gate, should be screws around the panel that you can see while inside the bed

you more then likely have some linkage that is broke or unhooked. you should be able to access this by removing interior trim panel.should be able to pick up parts at a salvage yard.

Very common problem. Usually the rods get bent form pulling ******* the handle to open it. If you look behing the handle you will see the two rods running towards the left and right side of the tailgate. If you can use a pliers and squeeze the towards each other you can open it. When you get it open, use some penetrating oil on the latches on the right and left side. Usually just have some dirt in them and they stick.
