07 Tahoe Auto Liftgate Problems
I have a 07 Tahoe and the Automatic Tailgate starts Up gets halfway then closes back up. Its like its tryin to eat me. HELP

Welcome to the forum.
It could be binding which it senses as an obstruction and closes. Have you tried assisting it by hand to see if it will open fully? |
yeah ive helped it up but if u let go it comes back down
|
Best guess is then that whatever senses an obstruction is FUBAR or needs adjustment, if adjustable.
Maybe shawnvw can chime in. |
I am having problems with my liftgate also so have been doing my research. unfortunatly my problem is different then yours. however through my research I have found A TSB that may relate to your problem.. Here it is
Component Description: 65. STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE Bulletin Number: 070847005 Bulletin Date: Jul 2007 Vehicle: 2,007 Cadillac Escalade Summary: POWER LIFTGATE MAY OPEN OR CLOSE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY THEN REVERSES, DTCS B135E AND/OR B135F SET (INSPECT LIFTGATE WIRING HARNESS AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY). ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10022713 ) |
I just had this problem with my suburban. Anyone have any idea how much or how hard this TSB is? I am out of warranty.

My 09 power lift gate still works... one thing I can't complain about. An option I didn't list, but hey, it has it, and now I do like it. |

just make sure the assist rods/struts haven't failed. when they get weak the hatch will only work properly when you assist it by hand.

I'll add also, get quality lift assist struts not the cheapest ones...
Remember to support the hatch with a 2x4 or someone helping you, that hatch is heavy, don't rely on the lift assist to hold it open when you change the struts... |
