I had a similar issue, I could not manually open my lift gate. I took it to my mechanic, who replaced a part, I guess the rubber inside had worn down from use or something like that... Cost like 75 bucks though!

I don't quite understand. The gate won't open with the power button or you physically cannot open the gate by pushing the latch? If you can't open it from the power button then you'll have to start checking your fuses. Your owners manual that comes with the car has all the fuse locations in it. If it's not the fuse then you either have a bad wire or the motor to pop it open has gone bad. If you cannot open it manually by the latch, then I'd say your linkage inside the door is broken and you'd be better off taking it to the dealer or to a body shop to get it repaired, especially if you're not mechanically inclined.

SOURCE: Rear window and gate will not open.

This is only part of a solution or suggestion. I have the same problem and the car manual says to reach under the tail gate, inside under the carpet and there is an emergency release. I can't find it. It says you need a screw driver or sharp skinny object to do this. Good luck hope you find it. Hope you have your manual.

SOURCE: the rear lift gate will not open or will the window

if they are controled or usually opened electrically, then it is probably a fuse. Check your fuse panel

Trouble opening lift gate in 2012 Equinox computer saying rear door open

Hey Karen,

That lift gate has a control module that controls the operation.
It communicates with the latch and other body modules

If the info display is indicating it is open when you know it is indeed shut.....I would suspect the latch assembly. There is a micro switch in the latch that informs the module when the gate is closed.
A scanner is actually the best most efficient way to diagnose this issue. A good independent garage should be able to scan for you for a fee. It will be worth the fee. Also...the lift assist struts are problematic on this particular vehicle. They assist in opening and keeping the lift-gate open.
