It is dirty and rusty inside, Needs cleaned and lubed real good.
It is on a timer; just give 10 minutes or so, and it will shut off.
when mine stuck, i climbed into the back removed the trim and manually pulled the release levers
This warning shows up on the on the dash and means one of the doors is not shut all the way. Most commonly shows up if the back tailgate is not slammed shut.
Hold the tailgate open about half way, release both tailgate straps, lift up and out on passenger side of tailgate, slide tailgate to the right, done.
I have a 2005 Vue. They go off automatically after about 20 minutes.
open tailgate. unclip the cables that hold tailgate level they will unclip from the top anchor post without using any tools.then lift tailgate from left side so as tailgate hinge comes up from pivot point. then slide tailgate little to the left and you should have tailgate in your hands
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...
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...
Tailgate Party was created in 2009.
Open the tailgate, remove the retaining cables from the studs, pull out on the passenger side of the tailgate.
Yes it is.
