Hi,
Sometimes when I go to open the liftgate (rear door), the handle just squeezes forward, no resistance and it won't open, like it is locked but all the doors have been unlocked.
Other times, there is resistance and it opens.
If I play with the unlock/lock button on the drivers door or the one in the back of the vehicle, sometimes it helps other times it doesn't.
Sometimes if I lock the doors, the liftgate doesn't lock, other times it does.
Is there an actuator that controls the locking mechanism on the liftgate or is it controlled by the main switch on the driver's door?
Or is this even a locking issue?
Thanks!
