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 an 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: Trunk / Liftgate Handle/Service and Repair/Exterior Handle
- Removal.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must
be replaced. See: Trunk / Liftgate Latch/Service and Repair/Power Liftgate Latch - Removal.
