I just unplugged the 2 small connectors shown here on the sensor coming from the pickup devices. The system still works with every other button and release.

My wife and I have both been hit in the head by this Liftgate while trying to unload or load groceries. You can completely disable the electric liftgate in the settings in the instrument cluster, but then the door becomes very difficult to operate. Also, it disables all switches and the remote control too. I called Ford and like always they never call back. I decided to take a look in the rear bumper and found the sensor shown here on the passenger side. It has 3 plugs, 2 small outer and one large center. If you unplug either or both of the outer plugs the foot control stops working. I left the center one plugged in so the ECU continues to see it working. This worked, all other switches still work and no CEL or error so far.
