Article No. 89-13-2

FORD:

1988-89 TAURUS

LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1988-89 SABLE

ISSUE:

A liftgate latch that does not completely release may be caused by a release spring that is not strong enough to push the lift gate out far
enough to disengage the secondary latch. This condition will usually occur at ambient temperatures of 32~F or below, (0~C or below).

ACTION:

Install a new design latch assembly that has a higher force release spring. Refer to the 1989 Shop Manual, Section 44-10 for the Removal
and installation procedure.
