Today I decided to figure out why the lift gate on my 2008 Tahoe wont automatically open and close (still works manually).
The gate will try to open (you can hear the motor trying to work), but the gate does not move. I took off the paneling and removed the motor assembly. You could tell that something was wrong internally by the sound and the intermittent behavior.
Here is the motor assembly (GM part # 25889603)...
And here is what is wrong with it...
It looks like the only way to get the little plastic gear is to spend $300 on a new motor.
Anyone have a better idea?
