Manual Liftgate
The liftgate can be released placing the transaxle in park, unlocking all the doors and then pressing the touchpad on the underside of the liftgate handle. Battery voltage is supplied to the liftgate latch assembly through the liftgate relay. The body control module will pulse the liftgate relay when a release input is received through the touchpad.
The liftgate release switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM supplies battery voltage to the signal circuit and when the release switch is activated the signal circuit voltage goes low. The BCM controls the liftgate release actuator through the liftgate latch release relay. When the release switch signal is activated, the BCM enables the liftgate latch release relay by applying battery voltage to the liftgate latch release relay supply circuit and the relay is energized when the BCM grounds the liftgate latch release relay control circuit. When the relay is energized battery voltage is supplied to the liftgate release actuator through the liftgate release actuator control circuit.
I suggest you have it checked at the dealer, could have DTC'S do you know what diagnostic trouble codes are ?
DTC B2494 (Manual Lift gate) ,

    My keyless entry doesn't have the button to open the lift gate does it have to have the button to do what u commented. Yes I am familiar with diagnostic codes. I have a computer if I plugged it into the car will it give me a code for the lift gate.

    I've tried changing the fuse too. But I didn't try the relay fuse. Can't find the relay fuse box.

  • Jeff Armer May 05, 2016

    No you can't get code with your computer ,unless you have GM scan tool software an proper hook up cable for the DLC - diagnostic link connector . The relay is in instrument panel fuse box ,Fuse Block - I/P
    Under the lower right side of the instrument panel
    The under side of the lid with give you L/GATE relay placement . If you replace the relay an it still doesn't work ,go on youtube check out videos on testing relay an testing at the relay base(where it plugs into) On the bottom of the relay or side are numbers 30,87 an 85,86 . 30&87 is the side that applies power , 85&86 are the control side of relay .If you took a piece of wire an jumped 87 to 30 in the socket the door should or would unlock if there is noting wrong with the lock actuator .

Look for a bad common ground connection for the two lights. Modern cars seem to have a problem making secure long-lasting ground points. There may also be a problem with the turn indicator switch as both lights are run through that switch.

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.

SOURCE: why wont the rear door open on my 2009 gmc acadia

from inside or outside ? if won't open from inside your child safety lock is probably tripped. if won't open from outside you probably have a lock rod that popped off inside the door, in which I would have the dealer fix it, it involves taking door pad off and when you can't open door to take pad off ,most of the time it damages it.

2009 GMC Acadia; why does honking my horn make the headlight come back on?

I am assuming the light is in close proximity to the horn and the light has a poor wiring connection either feed or ground. check for loose or corroded connection. The vibration from the horn has "jiggled" the connection.

GMC Acadia Power Lift Gate Not Working

Will require a scan tool to check for codes, make sure latch is working well, make sure release switch is getting signal. Most common concern is the latch itself though

I have a chevy traverse 2009. The power tailgate wont stay up on the strut. it was working fine the day before. the gate opens to the fully open position before slipping resulting in the gate closing

It's now a recall item. See below.


NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 15V415000
Component: STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
Potential Number of Units Affected: 686287

Year: 2009
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Traverse
Manufactured
from: 2008-07-06
to: 2012-02-29
Recall Date: 2015-06-30
-->
Summary:

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to February 29, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.

If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. Owners were mailed interim notices on August 3, 2015. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 15240.
