Hello,

The motor for tailgate stopped working. I press the switch in the handle or use the remote and the door unlocks but won’t open. I have to manually open and close the tailgate. The switch in the overhead counsel is in the on position. Is there anything else I could lack at?

Thanks,

Lou

Do you hear the motor trying to work?
Have you checked your fuses (not sure which one it is)?
Have you tried the overhead switch in the "limited" position?

I think there is an actuator in the rear side panel. You may also want to try a Google search.

Hello,

I tried the google search before I posted the question and haven’t found the answer. I have tried in the limited position and same result. I don’t hear the motor running and will check fuses tonight.

I checked the fuses and they are good. The manual shows there are four spots for fuses but I only have three fuses.

When you did your Google did you see the one that talks about the 2015 Cadillac but also states it covers the Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban. The liftgate becomes inoperable and you have to replace the actuator. It shows a step by step with directions and looks to be a GM bulletin. Not sure if this is related to yours or not. No one turned the liftgate knob to the off position by mistake?
