Rear lift gate woes

[Doubeleive]

Ok your talking foreign language to me!! Lol, but I’m interested in seeing how it works. To whom do I contact? Having GM cars/trucks from 2007 to 2017 would be awesome to be able to do stuff like this.

you can use a tech2 on your xx-14 suv's in 2014 gm switched over to GDS2 but I have read you can still use the tech2 for 2014 suv's but I haven't tried it on a 14 yet.
you can get a little electronic obd device online called a vx diag nano, it runs via usb on a windows laptop or tablet and it will give you tech2win (software based tool) and GDS2 for the 14+
the vx diag runs about $100-125 works on 07-14, and 14-current with gds2
~versus~
a clone tech2 (tool) runs about $300
a gds2 based (tool) runs $1200+
~versus~
a trip to the dealer for a diagnostic is $100 a pop

Yes but not necessarily the entire harness. The wires get frayed so you’re just looking for that.

I have to get the friggin gate to open first. I saw that there’s a way to open the buggered from the inside.

I’m thinking there’s frayed wires as You mentioned. This rig came with a back up camera. That also works when it wants.

I’ve got a Scout trip in 2 weeks that I need the gate to work. Camping gear my backpack food cooler and the chuck box all go in the back. Dammit need a 30 hour day, this 24 hour isn’t working!!! Lol

look on the inside panel, you will see a dimple spot, drill right there thru the plastic cover then you can poke inside with a screw driver and pop the latch open, once you have it fixed the hole can be capped off with a plastic clip

This dimple spot that your referring to. I’m not seeing it, then again I’ve been on call for the past 36 hours.

It’s to the drivers side of the latch assembly.

If you use a 1-1/8" hole saw, GM sells a plug that covers it right up. Just did mine the other day, before it breaks!
