when mine stuck, i climbed into the back removed the trim and manually pulled the release levers
If you mean the tailgate stuck shut, I had the same problem with my 1999. I was quoted £300 to fix it because I was told it was 'a major electical fault'. I took it home, cut open the cover inside the boot, reached down inside the middle and pulled the 2 metal rods to release the boot. When open, you can unscrew properly and replace/ repair solenoid. Also would be a good idea to grease it all up.
Spray lots of wd-40 in the driver side latch, there is a mechanism in there that allows power to flow to the motor when the tailgate is closed. more than likely it is just dirty and stuck. Thing is you have to get the tailgate open.
In most cases the window is not stuck. The fact is, the tailgate is not make enough contact with the sensor(s) that prevent you from rolling up the rear window when the tailgate is open. To roll up the window, first try shutting the tailgate with some force, as opposed to lightly, to ensure that it is shut well enough to make contact with the sensor. If the window still will not roll up, with the tailgate closed, push forceably on the upper drivers side corner of the tailgate, while you turn the key to roll up the window. If this does not work, start checking the typical electronics, fuse, wiring, etc...
It is dirty and rusty inside, Needs cleaned and lubed real good.
door open from inside or outside
If it is stuck open it will stall the engine at idle or run really rough. Stuck closed won't really affect it.
I have a 2005 Vue. They go off automatically after about 20 minutes.
make sure the hooks on the hinge on either side of the gate arent closed otherwise basically turn the hook so the hinge is fully open so it will snap on
A person should replace the power roof fuse to help fix it, if it is stuck open. In the meantime,a Êperson can try to pull it shut with their hand or their tools.Ê
If the tailgate is stuck in the closed position it will be one of three things. Well, four things if you include someone welding it shut but I hope you would notice the weld burns... lol. Now then. A- the hinge and releases are rusted solid. It's not likely but it is possible. B- Body damage can tweak the whole rear of the Bronco and jam the tailgate shut. C- (and the most likely) The rods inside the tailgate that release it from the latch pins are no longer connected to the handle. If neither A or B are the cause, get inside and remove the inside panel of the tailgate. Connected to the handle there will be a couple metal rods going left and right. They're held in place with little plastic clips that commonly rot, crack and fall apart. The little plastic clips are available for a few bucks at any auto parts store. Replace them, lube up the moving bits and test it out. it that fixes it, put it all back together and you're welcome. If not, well...

if the motor is bad or it's an electrical problem you can remove motor and crank shut manually, not sure what kind of tool you might need
