for the most part there are small clips top and bottom of the cylinders use a small screw driver and pry the clips out and remove be sure to put a broom handle under the hatch or have someone to hold it up why you are replaceing them so the lift gate does not fall on you.
SOURCE: the lift gate will not open with the release
I'm hoping you found an answer to this already, but if not, here it is. Try looking at fuse # 16 in the fuse panel under the driver side dash. It should be a blue 15 Amp fuse & it controls the cigarette lighter & lift gate, amongst other things. My guess is that you will find it has popped & needs to be replaced. It's an easy job to do if you have a fuse holder or a pair of needle nose pliers. Out with the old, in with the new. IMHO, this is a poor deign by Lincoln in the fact that the change holder is right next to the cigarette lighter & if you happen to drop a penny or dime into the lighter/outlet, it pops the fuse. This can be a common problem if you don't keep the lighter in there, & use the outlet for cell phone charger, ipod, etc. This has happened to me a couple times, so I bought a small box of fuses & keep them in the glove compartment now, just in case it should happen while I'm out & about somewhere. Hope this helps!...//TJ

how to i open a stuck lift garte on a ford winstar 2000 lock broken too
SOURCE: my lift gate says that
there is a push button switch in the door jamb for the lift gate. look closely and you will find it. when the door is shut the button is pushed and the interior lights and open door warning go off. it is broken and you need a new one. this will be a dealer item and it snaps or screws in. when you get the new switch you may want to pay someone with mechanical aptitude to replace it.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. You need to make sure that your fuse is not blown. Check your fuse box diagram for the location. If the fuse is fine, you may have a bad switch. There could be a loose wire or a bad connection to the switch.
To open the lift gate manually, use the door unlock switch located
on the drivers door. This should unlock the lift gate as well. Go to the lift
gate and lift the handle to open the rear gate.
Your power lift gate is computer controlled. Sometimes there will
be a faulty input sensor or part that will show the incorrect data to the computer,
therefore the computer will not go through its normal functions.
In most cases its the problem of lift gate latch assembly.
To get it tested and confirmed there is a troubleshoot guide
provided by the service center. To perform this troubleshooting guide you will
require a scan tool to diagnose the exact problem.
the troubleshooting procedure is as follows:---
Please use the following information below when diagnosing an inoperative
lift gate. Disconnect the connector at the lift
gate latch assembly. With the lift gate latch connector disconnected, the 3
signals for the ratchet, pawl, and the sector should be inactive on the scan
tool.
Install a 3A fused jumper wire between each signal circuit
terminal (for the pawl, sector, and ratchet) and the ground circuit terminal 2.
Monitor the scan tool as each individual circuit is jumped to ground, the scan
tool should read "active".
If either tests above fails, check the wiring for the signal
circuits, low reference circuit, or try a power lift gate control module from a known good vehicle. If both tests above pass, monitor the internal switch inputs in
the lift gate latch assembly for proper operation.
3. A) with the lift gate in the open position, the ratchet and the
pawl should read "active" and the sector should read
"inactive"
B) With the lift gate in the secondary latched position, the pawl
should read "Inactive" and the ratchet and sector should read
"active"
C) With the lift gate fully closed, the pawl, ratchet, and the
sector should all read "inactive".
4.If one of the internal lift gate latch assembly switch inputs
are not reading correctly in one of the positions above and the vehicles passes
test 1 and 2 above. Replace the lift gate latch assembly.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and
complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing
every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
This should help you.Thanks.Helpmech.
