I can open the lift gate manually but when i use the open button or the key fob the tail gate will beep then start to open then close right back up.Also when open it won't close with the button.Is there a sensor that can be changed or maybe some other problem?

Thanks for any help

 

I think the dealer has to reflash the PCM as there was an earlier post about this problem,
FF

 

2006 (HB) Durango
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a power liftgate built prior to
June 19, 2006 (MDH 0619XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
When the key fob button or overhead console switch is depressed, to actuate the opening
of the rear power liftgate, the liftgate may open for only a few inches and then return to its
closed position.
The following PLGM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) may be present:
B1956 - Power Liftgate Latch Release - Excessive Time
B1969 - Power Liftgate Open Direction - Excessive Position Sensor Count

Meaning there is a flash for this problem.

 

I have this problem too, any ballpark on what the dealer will charge to do the flash? What's the TSB number?


Thanks in advance!

 

Mine and my dads were doing the same thing. It turned out to be the struts that hold the door open have rust on them. clean the rust off the end of the shaft with a pair of pliers or vice grips. The rust on the end of the shaft gets stuck in fat shock absorber.
Both doors work like a charm now.

 

I have a 2004 Durango and I would like to make the liftgate powered to where I can use a remote open it is it possible to do this?
