I have a 2004 Nissan Armada and I have an problem with the automatic lift gate. The remote control and dash mount switch both do not work to open or close the door. However, I am able to use the interior switch located near the liftgate to lower the door only. Do you know what I could do to fix the problem?

SOURCE: The rear power lift gate

You most likely have a failed switch in the rear gate jamb. This switch tells the system that the gate is closed and if the system thinks that the door is already open, it will not open it again.

Have the Body Control Module (BCM) scanned for codes and live data with a scan tool capable of accessing this information. This will tell you if the switch is operational by manually operating switch while monitoring the switch state with the scan tool.

Any shop with a decent scan tool should be able to do this. Nissan dealerships use Consult-II and now Consult-III scanners and have access to stuff the aftermarket guys don't get, but this should be accessible by nearly any higher end scanner like a Snap On Ethos, Solus, or Modis.

Hope this is helpful!

Go to your local body shop...should only be $50 to fix or maybe free to get their advise.
Good Luck

SOURCE: liftgate and glass doesn't open

you have to get in behind tailgate interior trim and pull handle lever as this has come off from the actuator,once tailgate is opened remove panel and relocate actuator bar and you might want to cable tie bar in place for the future
