Power Lift gate problem.....Help

[4x4play]

The power lift gate on my '07 Joe stopped working today. The lights blink when i push the remote but nothing else happens. When I open the liftgate manually I hear the electric lock disengage, but nothing happens in the power mode. Any ideas????

I am having a similar problem, but I can hear the motor run to unlock the lock and the motor run to try to lift the gate, except I hear a slight clunk and the motor stops working. You might want to check the switch that is on the upper console to make sure it is not in the manual override position

There is a service bulletin that discusses something relating to this if I recall. Let me look it up and I'll post what I have.

Are you able to open it manually?

I have the same problem

There is a switch up on the overhead console, by the moonroof switches. It can be flipped to deactivate the power lift gate. Make sure that didn't accidentally get flipped. It happened to me once, must have been the wife poking away at buttons.

I hate to say it but that is exactly what happened to me!!!! Took me over an hour to figure it out.

Haha, my dad was working on his friend's 08 Denali and they had the same problem and could not figure it out whatsoever. As soon as he told me, I went inside and flipped the switch.

Maybe GM could prevent that the same way Ford does. My mom's navigator didn't have an OFF option on the switch, you had to go to the DIC to turn it off, same for the running boards and stuff. This would help.
