just ordered latch 190 on hanske website.. 10/13
just ordered the lath through the gm parts website link that hanske punched in. will install and update with update. also had taken it to guaranty chevrolet in santa ana, ca 1 year ago to have the rear unit reprogrammed in case that was the issue. it did not solve the problem. that was after i bought and installed a motor (was not the problem). was told by the dealer that the actual issue per the codes was the latch. never cared enough to get around to purchasing it, since the rear liftgate works fine manually. but got tired of other people, valets and car wash people push the button to kingdom come with no results. ha. will post if this fixed the problem. by the way, guaranty chevrolet gave me a quote of 595 to fix my problem. ...

Any suggestions if I replaced the latch and while there is actually now some movement (will not open on its own at all, but when open will close about 1/3 of the way and stop) it still isn't working?

similar problem with my 07 suburban
My rear power lift gate works sometimes. remote, button on overhead console, even with the rear handle button. lights will flash, you hear the sounds, but gate does not lift. sometimes it works perfect! seems to have a mind of it's own. just a major problem when we need to load or unload groceries, stroller, etc...
glass opens fine, but some items are too big or bulky to move in and out through the glass.
HELP!
when it does work, again... works perfectly fine!
on a possibly related note (electrical issue, maybe) after reversing and placing back in drive, i'll notice the parking sensor lights (on the rear passenger side pillar) will have a flashing red light when driving forward after reversing out of a parking spot. it'll keep flashing while driving. i've found that while moving forward, placing the transmission in neutral, then back into drive, it'll stop the red light from flashing.
while the light is flashing, if anything approaches the rear bumper (even with the gear still in a forward drive gear) the sensor will beep at me letting me know something is near the rear bumper.
any suggestions?

power lift gate
yes.. the latch did work. i incorrectly replaced the motor. $300+ from dealer. i swapped it out myself. no dice. i read it could be the latch. ordered one from same website stated earlier in post for my exact model. 10 minutes with out any extraordinary tools and i was done. worked like a charm.
