Are you pressing the open button twice in quick succession? If you press the button once, it won’t do anything, you have to press it twice quickly for the tail gate to open. It’s a safety feature.

I have a 2017 XLT and my fob has a button to unlatch just the glass but you have to push it twice. That button has a symbol that looks like a car trunk with 2x.Is there an antenna of some sort on the lift motor itself for the remote signal? I’d pull rear side panel and take a peek to see what’s up maybe it’s obstructed somehow. I would change the remote battery first just to rule that out regardless of age. I do have a question about the remote working the glass door... does it raise and close on its own and with the remote? Or does it just pop unlocked and you pull it from there? Just curious because my 17 XLT doesn’t have a remote option for the glass. I would think just popping unlocked could result in driving around with the glass unlatched. I guess the dash warning screen would warn you and chime.
That’s the button that opens the whole gate electrically on mine. The electric gate wasn’t standard on XLT’s but was part of a option package on mine. That’s interesting though it looks like I lost the window open option for the power gate option.I have a 2017 XLT and my fob has a button to unlatch just the glass but you have to push it twice.

Mine does both and the gate button looks almost the same but the window button has a smaller ^ looking angled line on it. You aren't missing much, I never use my window release button on the FOB.That’s the button that opens the whole gate electrically on mine.

Sorry for late response. Yes it is a new battery in fob, but I will put another new one just in case the old one was bad.The battery in your fob.
So the fob is the issue in your opinion then?If you can open it from everywhere but the fob, the motor/fuse is not the problem.
Just get another spare one.So the fob is the issue in your opinion then?
