2004 chryaler Pacifica tail gate location

Check with a multi-meter that the switch itself has a open/closed function(ohm meter setting)Hope this helps....

obviously a problem with the auto mechanism , is there a sensor located , see your owners manual, in a particular area that has to bee kept clear and you may have inadvertantly placed something over the sensor , just guess as something must be telling the tailgate to shut , with the age of vehicle is it still covered under makers warrenty ? i'll look into the sensor thing

you may have a bad switch which is located on the latch asm

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If it clicks then she's still ok. The lock may have been stuck that's why it won't open. As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you spray WD40 on the mechanism. This will loosen the lock and will resolve the problem.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have the exact same issue on my 2006 JEEP Liberty. Has anyone solved this?

you can remove those bars to shut the gate BUT when you do theres nothing to hold gate from dropping all the way down to bumper. hope this helps!!!!

Open tail gate. Use the access square inside - pull cable to open tail gate. Remove interier panel - 2 bolts plus 2 screws (2 bolts on handle and 1 screw each side), pull remainder out of guide clips. Now have full access to locking mechanism. Identified a retaining spring had come loose sending guides to shift left (exterior point of view). Place hand in tail gate and move guides over and put spring in place to retain. verify it works and put back together. Handle is the trickiest part as the bolts have to go through the interior panel and afix to the metal tail gate.

Hi;The latch/ouside handle is held on by four bolts on the inside of tailgat. Remove the four bolts and the handle should come clear so you can see the mechanism. Your on you own now.

You have to remove the headlight unit.Detailed instruction in owner manual pg 321-322. If you do not have the manual, it can be downloaded from chrysler web site, owners section.
