SOURCE: lift gate does not work in 2004 mit endeavor

This is due to the microswitch inside the glass hatch failing. It will not let you open the door because it is unsure if the glass is open or not.

Here is how to verify this:

Manually open the glass hatch.
Remove the two philips screws from the cover on the back of the handle area, and unscrew the plastic plug with the slot in it.
You should now be able to remove the cover.
You will see the harness coming off the glass handle going to a connector. Unplug this white two wire connector.
Your rear hatch should now open normally, just without glass opening.

To repair this, you will need to replace the glass hatch handle. It is a dealer-only part, and the cost is about $35.

To replace it, simply remove the 2 10mm nuts behind it (visible with the cover off that you just removed) and replace the handle and plug it back in.
Now all functions will work.

If you have any questions, just ask :)

SOURCE: 2004 endeavor trunk

Today is your lucky day. Get inside of your vehicle to open the lift gate and then open the glass from the inside as well . From the outside of the vehicle with the gate down and the glass open you will see the cover on the glass held in place by two screws. Remove this cover to expose the micro switch for the glass opening handle. You will see a small white connector and with a little patience you can remove this connector. If the glass switch is bad your hatch will now open and your glass should close without having to lock the locks. The switch is a dealer item and goes for around $50 and a bit more dissassembly of window to replace switch/Handle. Happened to me and cost 100 just for them to tell me what was wrong. I used a stick to poke the safty latch for almost two yrs

SOURCE: 2005 Chev Tahoe back lift up rear hatch will not

Push down and lift and push and lift while someone else flips the remote or the button in the car.Did you check the fuses? Under the dash most likely on the drivers side is where you'll find thefuse box. if the diagram is there on the fuse box cover outside or inside it should say trunk, or storage, or bonnet or something ofthe sort. If not then pull each fuse one at a time and look for the wire inside the fuse to be melted. It should be a solid wire. Look for bunrt spots in the corners too. It may not show where the wire is burnt but black marks indicate bad fuse. Replace with same amp fuse just like the one that came out of it. While your there might as well check them all. Sometimes a domino effect happens and more then one fuse goes. If you replace it and the trunk opens and then fry's another fuse right away then there is a short some place and you'll need to trace the wiring. That part is above my knowlege. I hope this helped you and please allow me a good thumbs up as I am trying to keep my score impressive. Good Luck, The Raz Shack

SOURCE: 2007 gm Yukon , hatch will start to open when

If one of the "suspension" or Lift Support" parts to the rear hatch fails. The other one will not have the energy to keep the hatch open. When the hatch gets to a certain point the door closure senses inaccurately that someone is pushing the hatch down to close. The reason behind this is that there is enough force on the engine lifting it that it is "tricked" into thinking that it is being closed.
This is probably the most likely explanation. The solution is to replace the weak lift support.
Here is a link to a supply house that should have the replacement. It is important to follow the instructions when installing this item.

Is it the back hatch? Can you pull the rod on the broke side & pull handle at the same time?

Is there a manual release for the liftgate

Yes. Inside the rear hatch, in the plastic trim panel, you should see a small square access panel. It will be down near the floor with the hatch closed. Pry that off and you'll find a white lever that will open the hatch.

2004 pontiac aztec rear hatch latch

HIt the unlatch button twice, sometimes three times. As it was explained to me
it has to be tight in the winter so it doesn't fly up in the summer. You could also try cleaning the damper rods on either side of the hatch, and make sure that the
mounts for them are still tight. It's the nature of the beast.

I cant open the glass on my back hatch any suggestions?

The glass hatch release handles fail all the time on these models (which is why the system was eliminated in 2009 models).

The glass hatch handle is $32 list from the dealer.

Removal and replacement requires a philips screwdriver and a 10mm socket and ratchet with extension.

Open the glass hatch by manually activating it through the access hole on the inside of the tailgate (small square panel covering it)

Remove the two philips screws and the one pop fastener holding the plastic trim on the back of the glass hatch handle area.

Remove the two 10mm nuts holding the handle on, unplug the wire and remove, noting the routing of the wiring on removal.

Reassemble in opposite order, being sure to route the wiring correctly.

My rear hatch and glass hatch will not open from the outside. The only way to open the lift is via the manual latch. All the other doors woork fine via the remote or inside.

This is extremely common!
The micro-switch inside the glass hatch release is faulty, telling the door that it is partially depressed, thus shutting down opening for safety reasons.
You can verify this by opening the glass hatch (there is a access panel at the bottom of the door on the inside), removing the trim cover from behind the glass handle (two philips screws and one plastic push in fastener), then unplugging the glass handle.
Your door will now function normally, but without glass opening ability until you replace the handle.
The handle only takes a few 10mm nuts to remove and can be changed in a few minutes. It retails for around $35 from your dealer.

2007 Endeavor Rear Window

I have a 2007 ES. The more expensive model has a rear window that does work, the ES does not, although it looks like it should. They tell me they used the same window in both models for costs sake, but only the more expensive model opens. It's not broken. It's just the way it is :(
