- 2016 Ford Explorer XLT
I have a weird problem with my 2016 Ford Explorer. The liftgate button works when the car is unlocked but does not work when the car is locked and the intelligent key is with me. The liftgate button on our remote will open the liftgate when the car is unlocked or locked so it appears the issue is directly related to the trunk button.
I have also noticed that when we push the button to open then hit it again to pause the liftgate will stop. However, when i hit it a third time the liftgate will neither open nor close. I have to use the key button to get the liftgate moving again.
Super confused by all of this as i dont know if this is BCM issue where the dealer needs to reprogram the unit.
I have done the following:
1) Read the manual which states the liftgate button unlocks the liftgate and opens when the key is with you
2) Checked to ensure that the liftgate is enabled (it is)
Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue.
