mjm917 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) Recently the lift gate on my 2011 Edge Limited has decided to close itself immediately after it is opened. This does not happen every time it is opened but when it does There is a warning sound (dinging). It doesn’t seem to matter if i use the fob, the dash button or the exterior button. Additionally I can reverse it by blocking it or hitting one of the various buttons used to control it. However, i have to do so several times before the lift gate “gives up.” All of the struts – large and small – seem ok.| Wondering where the lift gate sensors are located so i can take a look at them as the issue seems to occur when it is raining / snowing. Would pulling the appropriate fuse do anything? I’d prefer to not disconnect the battery as i would then have to relearn everything. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TIA.

enigma-2 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I remember reading about a simular situation some years ago, where the guy finally identified that moisture was getting into the switch on the liftgate and triggering it when its position changed from vertical to horizontal when open. Think he said he found this by putting some tape (think he said tape) over the outside of the switch to seal it off from the exterior. (Don't believe he has driving a Ford however. Think it was a Japanese import.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
