I like the amount of detail and explanation you put into these videos, very useful.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the process and show it once you were done. I appreciate you not making people feel stupid.

Great and useful as usual! A good idea would be to drill a hole in that latch and to bind a cord for emergency opening and keep it hidden behind the plastic pannel.

Absolute great video. Thank you so much for making it. t have been struggling with this door for months. It's been working off and on but it's gotten to the point where it won't open at ever.

Thank you for posting this video. I have a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L and received a message saying "Power Liftgate Temporarily Unavailable Close Manually to Operate". This appears to be a common issue. I checked the fuse and was all good there. Using this video, I was able to pop the latch and open the liftgate. Then I manually closed it. Low and behold, the front button, rear button, and key fob all started working again. Again, thank you for posting this as it fixed my problem entirely!

I would not have found that release without that video. Mine was jammed shut and couldn't open even though the motor would cycle. Got it open, Sprayed everything with drylube and now it works.

Thank you for showing that latch assembly outside of the vehicle. My lift gate had the opposite problem and wouldn't latch. Showing where I needed to push down in order to manually latch it was exactly what I was looking for!

My 2012 T&C lift gate wouldn’t close due to this issue… this was a much easier fix than the other video! Thanks

Excellent video, Mate. Thank you for the detailed description and camera angles.

[celienewalker]

Thank you!! Your video was great!! I got in and got it open in under 5min.

[dthompson]

I finally got it opened thank!!! So happy to see this videos, very understanding and helpful..

But does Anyone know why when I closed the lift gate, it still won’t open the lift gate from my key fob or inside vehicle buttons..

so I don’t have to climb in van every time I need it open ?

[thenightbringer]

Thank you so much! My car's lock was much simpler to find and it worked!

[jmcruz-gmrq]

Thanks a lot. Very informative fixing ❤

This is a really well done video, thank you

[cdunkin]

What do you do if the release latch does not work either?

*How to convert the power lift gate to manual.?* I changed all that part and still with the same issue, you can hear the motor working but it doesn't open the door.

[tarawis]

Can you offer any suggestions as to why this happens? This happens every time I close my liftgate. I can't continue to keep the panel off and use a screwdriver each time I need to open the liftgate. The background on my issue is this. The liftgate was working properly until I hired a guy to replace the broken window on the liftgate. The guy left pieces of glass everywhere, which I think I have finally been able to clean out. Even though the glass pieces appear to be gone, the door will not work properly. At times, the door will not latch at all. Most times, though, the liftgate door shuts and then remains locked. Pressing any of the "open" buttons does nothing. Thank you. (Btw, the guy who replaced the glass ignores all my calls.)

Hello...great video as always. Would you be able to make a video on how to replace the lift gate actuator on a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan? Mine locks and unlocks but every time you unlock it makes a loud noise. Also, where would you recommend buying them from he in Ontario, Canada. Thank you!

[lesliemj]

Are you able to do a viedo on how to change a fuel pump on the dodge caravan? I have a 2013 thank you I would grestly appericate !!!!

I find it really annoying there is only one lock cylinder on the entire vehicle. Ours is broken, so there's no way to get in manually if the fob or car battery dies.
