Thank you.. I was able to get it to lock and open.. I didn't need to pull the fuse.. I removed the cover of the lift gate WD40'd it and worked it manually and wiped excess.. and it worked!

Bless you! Thank you. This worked!!

I tried all of this and it did not work! Not sure the difference.

Couldn’t manage to take out the fuse(it was very stuck) so I didn’t wanna break it so I decided to keep on trying to open and close, and lock and unlock and after a few try’s it locked and was working perfectly fine

Six years later, your video is still having a positive impact. You provided the solution to the very problem I just had, and I was able to fix it within minutes rather than spend hundreds of dollars at a dealership. Thank you, Curtis.

Great video mate, unfortunately ive got no response from my button at all. I think mine may be a bigger issue 😢. I had my fingers crossed. Good to know its not just me.

I was just about to try this on my 2014 KL but after a few starts and turning off the engine, it started to work lock and open the lift gate again. It would be nice to have a manual override or some other option.

my 2018 cherokee trailhawk had been getting squirrelly and now it never wants to open. it opens a few inches then shuts and locks. i tried this trick and it didn't work. the struts seem fine. idk what to do

I don't understand what you did, why that worked. You don't need to replace the fuse?

Great video! Worked like a charm.

I just had this happen to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee. It had happened before but resolved itself in an hour. I had just used it leaving the grocery store. When I pulled in the driveway it would not work. Tried looking for the fuse puller but there isn’t one. I was going to take it to the dealer in the a.m. but decided to Google the problem and Lo and behold your video popped up. I grabbed my needle nose and gave it a try. Well guess what it worked 1st try. I thank you very much for your tutorial video.👍

Nailed it bro. Helped me get my wife’s jeep sorted out while she was working out at the rec center

mine opens n closes in 1 second, like its activation the close cycle right way, fuse didnt work....?

I’m having this issue but I don’t have a button like you do. Ive only ever opened my trunk by lifting it myself from the back. I can hear it clip when I try to open the trunk but it won’t budge

Thanks. The fuse trick worked.

Thank you Curtis!! Helped me with a wacky tailgate and light combo that was not working!!!

Hello Curis. I ran into this issue today and since I know about the goings on at the dealership I was very hesitant call them for an appointment. The last time I went to them they told me that it would cost me about 1600 to replace and with the man hours included. Well I found the Mopar replacement lock on Amazon for $98 and my mechanic charged me $35 to install (15min). For some reason I ran into a problem but I'm going to try what you recommended. Thank you again!!!!

I have just the opposite problem. Mine won't unlock or open. I tried doing what you said but nothing happens. The fuse is good because I replaced it with a new one just to make sure. I have tried several times to do what you did and nothing. But liked the video.

Nice fix. I can see your car is the victim of endless road salting in Ontario. We have the world’s largest salt mine for a reason.

Great statement. To the point. Clearly No one wins here. Thanks for your continued advocacy.

Vuong was undemocratically forced upon us as an MP - he should have resigned when he was kicked out of the Liberals & stood as an independent, but voters weren’t informed on the ballot- and now he’s jumping on this to give him credibility?! Criticizing Ausma in her Ivory tower?! LOL. Give back your ill-begotten pension & salary.

It's unfortunate that the City is planning to build a low barrier respite centre beside an elementary school. It continues to get dangerous more dangerous for kids & families in downtown Toronto!

FYI there is a recal for the liftgate contorler catching fire, So if your having this issue i would check to see if your VIN is one that is part of the recal.

I wonder why this DIDN'T work for me? I am definitely locked out of my trunk!

My liftgate latch was stuck on the closed position and it would not close. I pulled the fuse as you did here and, voila, it reset it and it closed. Thanks for the tip it was a life saver. Waaaay better than taking it to the dealer.

Thank you so much!! I’ve done this twice. Works every time I keep a pair of needle nose pliers in the car just for this

Jeep has just made a re-call (49A/NHYSA 23V-338) on this liftgate (shorts out) June 2023

I tried this and it still wont latch. Do l need to buy a new fuse?

Yep, that worked. Brilliant. Thanks

Thanks so much for this video! We have had this problem and you are the 9nly help we've found. I even show it to the repair guys and that's how it gets fixed.

Thank you for posting this! I really appreciate it!

Please I do t have a latch on inside by gas latch

powerful.

ours has been bixed like 10x and still doing it 7 years :( ill watch the vid now cheers, cool i hope that works we have had to get the part replaced many times (wonder if thats actuaslly what they done) Thank you see how i go whe wife gets home ox peace

...my daughter just came home from shopping, told me "Daddy, my rear lift gate won't latch...it was working when I left the store." Found this video...had my doubts that this would work...pull and replace the fuse...? Don't fuses "blow" and have to be replaced...? But I did what this video suggested...and sure as shirt...the lift gate opened and closed again! But it still wouldn't latch...went back and pulled the fuse again...locked and unlocked the doors with the remote fob, pushed down on the rear hatch, and heard it latch! Used the fob to open and close it again, and it latched! Put the cover back on the fuse box, closed the hood...I'm having a beer! Thanks!!

Man you saved my money, greetings from Mexico

Thank you! I used this to fix the same issue on my daughter’s Jeep Cherokee.

I'm having a similar issue, I can push my liftgate button and it makes the sounds as if it were opening and it starts to open but closes once its opened a few inches only. It locks normally but wont open all the way and when I physically open it all the way myself, the button wont close it automatically. I have to physically bring the liftgate down. I have changed the fuse today and even sprayed some Penetrant in the locking mechanism in hopes of cleaning it up a bit. Still didnt work. Any recommendations? It stopped working right after someone crashed into my parked vehicle on the street. Insurance company refused to fix it because I couldn't prove it stopped working BECAUSE of the accident.

Every crystler I’ve ever owned or seen anyone own has had electrical problems. I would never own another crystler, dodge, or jeep. No wonder the Toyota dealership has nearly zero cars in the lot. Meanwhile, domestic lots are full

The fabric band of a tote bag got caught in the lock and I had to crawl through the back and cut the handle to get the bag out but the lift gate still won't open. Do you think this trick might work or do you have any other ideas?

Thank you

THANK YOU!!!!!

Wow, awesome video - worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

Every once in awhile you actually have to replace the fuse too.. like a .30 part

Curtis. The tailgate does not lock, the lifting is working.

“Curtis your the man” nailed it, fixed it, you are a life saver. Tom from Toronto

What a thoughtful way of making life less stressful Curtis. Your 'video' worked for me. Bill

you missed the plastic fuse puller lol in the fuse box but pliers work for sure
