Vehicle info:
2007 Veracruz
3.8 V6
Non-power liftgate


Problem: The button on the oustide won't activate the latch to open the liftgate unless it is open or closed just to the first safety lock. I replaced the latch today thinking that would fix it, but no such luck. While the liftgate is open and you push the button, it makes the sound to undo the latch. And if you take a screwdriver and push the latch closed to the first click it also opens, but as soon as you push it all the way to the fully closed position, the button goes dead and nothing happens.

This is my girlfriends car, so I don't have any history info but any advice would be appreciated.

I have the same problem, looking forward to some info on this.

I had the same issue and wasted my money on a new actuator.
The issue is the pressure switch in the liftgate handle.
I took the switch out and disassembled it and fiddled with the switch contacts, sprayed some contact cleaner. it slightly improved the issue.

Dealer sells the entire rear assembly upwards of 200 bux to replace a 5 dollar switch.

Waiting it out till its completely gone to buy a new one.

Hey
I think this problem might come from the power source failure to tailgate actuator at ICM relay box.
1 the outside switch
2 tailgate actuator
3 ICM relay box

The PN for ICM relay box is probably 952003J400. but I am not sure. Good luck.

My local dealer gave me this part number.
952303J500
ICM Relay Box

Can you please confirm the location for this relay?
Is it under the dash?
