Hanske69 Welcome to the forum...
Do let us know if the latch resolves the issue and if you have to have it reprogrammed or not...
Take a few pictures of the process and the assemblies if you can...

THE LATCH WILL FIX ALL ISSUES!!!! I have a 2007. The damn latch stripped the ONE PLASTIC GEAR! There several metal gears and ONE PLASTIC!!! The plastic gear is the actual latch gear. My uncle got it for $100 NEW in FL (wanted $400 in NY) This fixed the REAR LIFT GATE, DVD PLAYER, AND THE GPS!!!!

I was furious that the rear door opened ON THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!! if i didn't have my HF Aluminum Rack with stuff in it I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL MY STUFF!!!!! And I was even more torched when it turns out the rear latch made the DVD/CD quit, GPS quit, and the entire lift gate!!! That was so frustrating... Then 2 months later I got rear-ended!! Total Bill $3800!! Other guys prob not mine And I got a WHOLE new door!

Hope you kept the new old latch if it was salvageable.

unfortunately no i didn't. Drove home which was only about 10 min and then my wife drove it to the collision center the next day. 2 weeks later we got it back. For a rental we a got a base level Hyundai Accent during winter! So i drove that. (good mpg tho..)

When i went to the collision center instantly got service parking assist... So it had to stay another 2 days... Then when we got it back i looked under the car when i got home and saw the 2 main wiring harnesses had new push clips but weren't pushed into the frame! they were hanging down really low! out them back in, then the back bumper was missing one the push clips for one of tabs that holds the plastic up, and the plastic foot board or whatever you call it on the back bumper is lose... its the only collision and they dont do good work... shame....

Default Power lift gate problems

Hi everyone,

I have order a new latch on my VIN code and it don't need to program the latch. Every problem is being solved now. The power lift gate works properly.
I has been taken approx. one small hour to open/close the trim panel , remove and installation the latch and testing !
The costs were 385 Eur = approx. 498 US dollar
thx everyone for the help and support

Default same song different model

I'm having the same issues with a 2008 LT. noises but no action, other than unlatch. Key fob and console button don't do anything... I see that the latch fixed one but mine is an '08 and the epay price is 200 bucks.... don't want to spend it if it's not the fix I need

suggestions, ideas, cwags ????
