    Rear window, defroster, wiper wont' work? Look here!

    Sounds like the issue that I finally figured out. Its a wiring issue in the hatch. Get a multimeter and take the panel off of the rear hatch. On the body ECM there is a blue connector. Disconnect the blue connector and probe the solid blue wire. This should be 12 volts with the ignition off...

    4th Gen Tailgate won't open unless engine is on

    What is the voltage for both with the ignition OFF? Both the blue and blue/red wire should be 12 volts at the blue ECM connector. If your pulling low voltage it could be due to corrosion. Now, I am not very good at electrical, but corrosion or ground issue can cause low voltage figures. I would...

    Hatch Problems

I have been searching and searching because I had the EXACT same issues you were having. I had to turn the key to On and then hit unlock to open the tailgate. As soon as the...

    I searched..... Ok. So I searched and searched, but have yet to find anyone that mentions any issue like mine. I replaced my stereo in our 2005 SR5. I disconnected the battery as one should when doing this work and when everything was back together everything seemed fine. Well, it snowed. I...
