2005 Ctt Tailgate Switch On Driver's Door

[mr88]

Hey All -

MY 2005 CTT had a trip to the body shop (tree fell on it) and now the switch on the driver's door does not pop open the tailgate. Dealer says it never did. I remember that it did pop it open.

Can anyone help me, what does yours do?

Thanks,

Matt

My '04 S does not pop the entire tailgate open but it unlocks it so the handle will open it.

I do recall a DIY retrofit that adds springs so then the rear gate is remotely released it pops-up a bit. I'll look around for that info for you.

For the upper glass window if you hold the tailgate icon on the remote down for two full seconds the glass window will indeed pop-up. This tidbit was detaield in the owner's manual. Pretty cool.

And of course newer models have the auto open/close tailgate feature.

it only unlock the rear switch on the tailgate,,, if a person actually go open the tailgate by pressing it. then it will open..
