I have an 04 GMC Envoy XUV. I went to lock my vehicle and accidently pushed the window button on the remote. The rear window went down and I tried to put it back up with the key but it would not go up. I tried to open the back gate and it would not open either way(swing open or drop down) The see manual for rear window came up on the DIC and I did what the manual said but nothing happened. I then tried to open the roof with no luck. So now my rear window is stuck in the down position, the rear door doesn't open at all and neither will the roof. What do I have to do to fix the problem. I am on a very limited budget so I need an affordable solution.
Thank you

The most common issue with strange acting or random function of a remote, IS THE BATTERY. Replace the battery in the remote before forcing anything or taking things apart. Good Luck!

It is possible that the battery change may have disrupted the electrical system of your GMC Envoy XUV and caused a problem with the trunk latch mechanism. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
Check the fuse: The trunk release mechanism may be controlled by a fuse. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
Check the trunk release button: Make sure the trunk release button inside the vehicle is working properly. If it doesn't work, try resetting the power to the vehicle by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it.
Check the trunk lock mechanism: Inspect the trunk lock mechanism to see if there is any visible damage or debris that may be preventing it from unlocking.
Check the trunk latch mechanism: Sometimes the trunk latch mechanism can become stuck or jammed. Try lubricating it with a penetrating oil to see if that helps.
Try the key: If your GMC Envoy XUV has a keyed trunk release, try using the key to open the trunk.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic for further diagnostics and repairs.
check the fuse/relay. if it is neither of these check the switch with a multimeter. If you can hear the motor trying to move the glass when you try the switch it may be the regulator needs attention. It may be the motor needs to be replaced.
check fuse and relay along with the switch first then the regulator and motor afterwards. Replacing the small electronics is obviously easier than having to open up the tailgate to check the mechanics of the winedow.
The same thing happened to my '04 XUV. Discovered broken white nylon/plastic that retains the end of the lift cable. Ordered a new lift gate motor/mechanism assembly ($250) online and replaced it myself. Be sure to buy a new limit switch ($13) also. I did not and regretted it because you must remove the old limit switch from the old motor assembly so you can re-assemble it to the new motor assembly. While removing the old switch from the old assembly, I broke it. Had to then order a new switch. The cost to ship the switch separately was more than the switch. The whole thing did not really take that long and was surprisingly easy. It works great now.
Try putting your transmission in neutral and slowly shifting the 4wd selector to each position but you have to wait a few seconds between selsctions as it has to go through your vehicles computer, shifting to fast will cause your symptoms. I hope this helped you out. Roger
I also have a 2004 GMC XUV. My gate would go down but not swing open. In trying to fix it, the gate then refused to go to the flat position.I have removed the cover plate on the gate and found the one of the
solenoids loose from its mounting. Resetting the computer by disconnecting both battery leads and holding them together for ten seconds worked to restore function to the gate going flat, but the swing still does not work. I believe it is a bad solenoid or motor for the bottem left latch pin.
