My 2019 expedition max liftgate button stopped working all of a sudden. It was stuck as many of you have said. I took it out after removing the plastic housing of the liftgate. Pops out relatively easy. I purchased a new one online for $16 plus shipping.
Taking it out took about 5 minutes and I’m handy but not a car guy. Putting the new one in went perfectly and still same sticking result with the new one. There is a design issue with the switch/ button on how the tabs seat in the housing. With the switch/ button out of the housing and in my hand, using my fingers with both the old switch and the new switch when I put pressure on the tabs that hold it in, the switch will not retract or operate correctly. When I relieve pressure, the old and the new switches work and retract absolutely perfect. Only solution I could come up with was installing the switch upside down. It stays in firmly, works perfectly but is just upside down. Come on Ford, seriously?? Anyone out of warranty, can save some serious cash with about 10-15 min of there time. Until Ford can get there act together I had to post this as there is almost nothing on the internet about a work around.
