My power lift gate has a mind of its own.

The lift gate will open but will not close with the remote, button in the back or button on dash. If I turn it off then on through the information center it works for a little while. How can I fix this?

If any of these conditions has occurred, the power liftgate must be reset.


NOTE: The battery must be disconnected for 20 seconds before the module will enter the initialization mode.

Disconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .
Wait 20 seconds and reconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .

Not sure if that is your problem but may be a good place to start Check your owners manual for the procedure to reset the power lift gate If you don't have a manual go to owner.ford.com and you can download the manual
