Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation
Exterior Handle Switch - Installation
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the
exterior handle, located in the license plate light bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle switch
is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse
direction. Activation of the switch during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced. See: Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate
Handle/Service and Repair/Exterior Handle - Removal.
