If you haven't found the answer to your question, yet, try this web site. http://www.wjjeeps.com/liftgate.htm I am having the same problem and this site has the best information and photos that I've found. Thanks I looked at this website before I entered the question. It is helpful and I wish I would have seen it when I changed out my 2000 Jeep. The 2005 Jeep has been changed and I cannot find the release lever.

How do you replace door pistons on 1996 Cherokee liftgate?

I had a 97 Grand Cherokee, and I found someplace on the internet(sorry I don't remember who) that had the oem replacements. The ones found locally would have worked, but the oem's pivoted on a ball joint. Then it was simply a matter of swapping them out.Four screws each, and it was done. Hope that helps.


How do you replace tailgate lock actuator of a 2001 grand Cherokee?

mine is out right now i know how to get it out just having problems finding a new one aftermarket it is located inside the rear hatch panel there is 6 screws you take out and then then unhook the 2 wires for the rear window defrost and then the panel just pops off the lock motor is the really big one in the middle of the door it has a manual another easy way to identify it is it has a manual lock lever on the driver side of the actuator... as far as removal make sure you have the new one handy and take out the old and replace the same way hope that helped some Grinding noise inside the liftgate when using the locks. Either won't lock or un-lock (Mine won't lock. Broken drive gear, broken axel on switch gear. Bad design.) Removing the trim: - 5 screws, 2 defroster connectors. Grab the handle at the bottom and pull to remove the 10 trim fasteners. You will break a few of the yellow fasteners, maybe the green. The trim panel is pretty tough, pull forcefully, but carefully... Last are the top 4 white fasteners. Pull back the rubber waterproofing panel halfway, carefully (if you are clean, it may re-stick OK, otherwise, use adhesive when reapplying). One torx screw to remove the actuator. Locate a new actuator and enough new clips to replace the ones you broke. Reinstall actuator. Start trim at the bottom yellow clips and work your way up. See the Related Link below for photos and instructions. The best site I found for this problem.

2005 Chevy Tahoe liftgate will not open?

This body style has a terrible issue with the liftgate actuator. You need to check to see #1) Is the relay clicking when you hit the unlock on your FOB. This is located in the fuse panel by the driver's left leg. #2) Put your ear on the liftgate and listen for a "clunk" when you hit the unlock button on your FOB. If you hear both, then most likely the actuator is faulty and doesn't have the strength to move the armature for unlocking, or in some cases, the armature actually is getting caught on its own bracket. Crawl into the back and pull the plastic out directly in the middle of the liftgate at the seem where the top panel meets the bottom panel. The latch is right there. By sliding your hand in, you can manually unlock the liftgate and if needed, unplug the actuator until you get it fixed for good. Hope this helps.

How do you replace liftgate actuator on 2005 suburban?

You're not going to like the answer. There in no $50 actuator available like the doors. You have to buy the whole actuator mechanism $285 (dealer or online). Actually replacing it is fairly easy but tedious. Start at the middle seam and carefully pry out the snap clips that hold the plastic panels on ... working your way around the outside edge as you go. Once you get it open it's pretty self explanatory.
