Where is the lift gate on a Chevy envoy?

Where is the lift gate on a Chevy envoy?

Click to expand… It’s under the trim of the rear-most pillar on the driver’s side, just above the bump stop for the lift gate (at least on my trailblazer; I can actually see it through the vent slots in the trim. not sure about the Envoy). After seeing the pristine condition mine was in it seems an unlikely source of the problem.

How do you fix a liftgate on a Chevy?

Found a good ground on the body somewhere, and bolt the temp wire to it, or even use a gator clip. Then remove the inside panel on your hatch, and using a gator clip, or a bolt, bolt down the temp ground wire again to the hatch (make sure both ends are bare metal, must have a good connection).

Are there any problems with the lift gate?

1) Where the wire harness passes from the lift gate to the roof/body. The wires have been known to chaffe inside that flexible rubber boot causing all sorts of odd behavior. Pull the boot at each end and inspect each wire thoroughly. 2) The lift gate module and the license plates share a common ground (G401, inside the rear-most body pillar).

Why is my lift gate not working on my g401?

After seeing the pristine condition mine was in it seems an unlikely source of the problem. The license plate bulbs and LGM tie their grounds together in the lift gate then pass through the boot, through a connector, into the body and ground at G401.

Why is my liftgate not working at all?

If there are no license plate bulbs in at all the key fob doesn’t work either. I put the bulbs back in and clicking comes back, if I turn on the parking lights the clicking stops but no license plate lights are on. I also noticed that the license plate lights would flicker very dim with each click of the lock mechanism.
