is there any trick to get the 3/4 liftgate option to work? I select it but nothing changes. Thanks!

Did you program it first, to where you want it? Also, there is a point below which it will not set.

Program it? It’s either 3/4 or full. Unless incremental changes beyond that are new?

I watched a YouTube about programming it, and when I tried it was unsuccessful. Perhaps I was programming it to be too low!

Yup, there is a way to program where you would like it to stop. Again though, too low and it will not accept that height, it will default to the previous setting. It should have a default height already, I'm just reaching here...

Very cool. Here’s a vid on how to program. Will have to try it out!!

Yeah, I almost never use it. It's just handy when you have something loaded up top and don't want any interference.

Mine lost it's setting for 3/4 and I thought it was broken. I was unable to find a reset or factory 3/4 setting. My assumption is that one of my kids held the button too long with it wide open and it set it fully opened.

When I reprogrammed it back to a new position it work fine though. Basically you turn the knob to the 3/4 position, then open the lift gate all the way. Then manually move the lift gate where you want it to stop, (most likely to keep it from hitting the top of the garage door when it's in your garage). Then you hold the auto close button on the lift gate for 3 seconds until the tail lights flash and you may hear a beep. After that the 3/4 setting will stop where ever you put it.

Agreed. I wish I could get mine to go higher. I have to duck my head every time.
