2008 Cadillac srx power tailgate opens fine, but won't close with the remote. I can't hear the motor. The auto close button doesn't work either. Is there a fuse or relay? If so where is it?

An electronic control module controls it .
The liftgate module (LGM) controls operation of the liftgate latch motor and the liftgate actuator assembly. Do you have a Liftgate Ajar Indicator ON ? Or a message in the message center driver information center (DIC) illuminates the LIFT GATE AJAR indicator ? The liftgate control module could have a DTC - diagnostic trouble code in memory !

When open, the liftgate can be closed by either a keyless entry transmitter or the liftgate close switch. When a GMLAN serial data message or switch input is seen, the liftgate module begins the close sequence. The liftgate motor is reversed, lowering the liftgate until it latches into the liftgate latch. Once latched, the latch will cinch the liftgate to a fully closed position.
Power liftgate function will only be allowed if certain operating criteria are met. Any of the following may cause the power liftgate not to function:
?€¢ Vehicle is not in park. ?€¢ Engine cranking is present. ?€¢ Temperature limits have been exceeded. ?€¢ Liftgate motor overcurrent is detected. ?€¢ Excessive hall effect counts are seen. ?€¢ System voltage is out of range. ?€¢ A DTC is set that disables power liftgate functionality. The liftgate also receives inputs from 2 object detection sensors. If either of these sensors indicate an object is in the path of the liftgate, liftgate functions will be suspended until the object is removed.

SOURCE: 2005 Honda Odyssey Tailgate Problem

Try to reset the tailgate by removing the no.7 (7.5 amp) fuse in the underdash fuse box. Open and close the tailgate manually, reinstall the fuse, and try the open tailgate button. If that doesn't work you would have take it to the dealer, where they can check for DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes). Honda Al

SOURCE: Camry 1996 automatic power lock doen't work, but windows work.

if you can here relays when unlocking/locking check for power at door lock actuators inside doors, if you have power on lock/unlock and good earth from connector actuators are faulty.
if no power on test light when operating check output from central door lock module while operating, none coming out of module then it might need replacing.
check 30Amp power fuse for main relay under bonnet (which goes to pin 8 white/blue on module)and 10Amp gauge fuse in cab(pin 1 blue/red on module),pin 15 is also power when relay is on(red/blue) with test light, and module/ actuators.
check outputs from module pin 3 & 4
blue/red
blue/black
that go to door locks

SOURCE: Cadillac 96 deville - Trunk won't close

Is the lock grabing the stricker? You may have a stuck actuator holding the lock plate open or closed. Check operation. If it does lock and will not pull down to close compleatly you need to replace the pull down switch.

Sounds like sunroof is stuck, motor can't overcome load. Cheap test: car off, interior light turned on try to move sunroof, does light dim? If yes motor is trying to move but can't. If light does not dim then motor not getting power.

2010 Cadillac SRX- rear passenger door appears to lock with remote, however it will open and unlocks all other doors in the process. Actuator works and you can see lock button going up and down.

This appears to be a known issue. You need diagnostics with a pro grade scan tool computer. You aren't looking for codes, but data network issues or problems with the BCM. The cheapest option would be an auto electrician or alarm installer.

Where is the power tailgate lock actuator fuse on a 2008 Cadillac SRX

Power Liftgate System Components
• Liftgate motor assembly
• Liftgate latch
• Liftgate module (LGM)
• Liftgate side upper sensor - left
• Liftgate side upper sensor - right
• Liftgate handle switch
• Liftgate close switch
• GMLAN serial data link
• PWR LIFT GATE 30 amp fuse
• PLG 10 amp mini-fuse

Power Liftgate System Description
Liftgate Module
The liftgate module controls the liftgate motor, liftgate clutch, and liftgate latch based on various inputs. The liftgate module also performs diagnostics on these inputs and outputs and will disable liftgate functionality and set DTCs should a fault be detected. The liftgate module is secured to the motor assembly at the left rear of the vehicle. The module requires a liftgate position learn procedure be performed when replacing. This allows the module to learn the full open and full closed positions of the liftgate.

Location - fuse block right rear

Remote

FIRST, look for a small screw-head or other fastener - if there is one, that's PROBABLY how it opens. If there ISN'T one, most car remotes have a seam around the edge that's too slim to for a coin, but the thin edge of a key (or a pen-knife) will do nicely to 'snap' it open. Then you can see the battery, pry it out, get a new battery (WalMart or Target unless it's weird) and put it in. When you close it up again, squeeze until you hear a 'snap'. Sometimes you have to use the 'find' button first before the 'lock/unlock' button will work.

2011 SRX tailgate opening on its own when in park.

Do you get a tail gate ajar light before or after it opens?

Have you tried to close it with more force to see if that remedies the problem?

When you say "opening on its own" When exactly does it open or do you just notice its open sometimes but don't know when exactly it opened?

sounds like a fuse is bad for that circuit..check and replace if bad..in an emergency to gain acess to the trunk, remove the back seat by taking the base out first then the back of it..remove the noisebarrier(fiberboard or batting) and the trunk is accessible by a smaller person who can trip the lock from inside manually..good luck and reposr please..
