Why is the liftgate on my Jeep not closing?
Stop it from lowering so you can keep it open and at least use it at that less than fully open position and it will switch off and go into manual only mode. It won’t shut by any of the electrical options and you will have to manually shut it then also. All fixed from the dealer…contact issue.
Why is the tailgate not latching on my Jeep?
Went to close it and nothing…tried it from the overhead button, rear button and key fob. Nothing. So I “closed” it manually and it will not latch/secure the tailgate. Tried to put it in reverse, then drive, then park and open/close…and it just stays open! :slapfight: Thoughts?

Why is the liftgate on my Jeep not latching?
You will be able to then see where the striker fits up into the latch and then the little arm comes around the striker to latch the two together. If you get the latch unlatched it should latch. Good luck. It’s possible you closed the gate latch while you were wiping down the gate painted areas.

What to do if your liftgate won’t close?
SOOO if anyone has this problem arise, manually close the liftgate to about 6″ from the latch then close with medium force. That will at least close it so the interior lights do not stay on and the dash display telling you it is open.

Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee tailgate not open?
Go to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems topic to discuss the battery problem. It is confusing to have separate issues discussed in a single topic and makes it harder for people to find the information they need. i also have a 96 jeep grand cherokee , my tailgate opens very rarely , how did you get yours to open ?
Is there a way to close the lift gate?
That will at least close it so the interior lights do not stay on and the dash display telling you it is open. Yeah, the gate can also be operated manually and when closing manually it won’t electrically suck itself shut the rest of the way.
What to do if your tailgate won’t open?
Bingo, the gate will open. Next, I removed the screws around the bottom half of the inside panel. You will also find a scerw in the top corner of the carpet on both sides. They will have to be removed as well. Run your finger around the top corners and you should find the.

What to do if your WJ liftgate won’t open?
The door lock actuator is pretty cheap all considering and VERY easy to swap out on the wj liftgate… usually if you hear a whine, buzz noise its too late, the actuator is gone and this is generally the first step. There is like 1 torx screw 1 connector and it twists out of the door skin.
