Liftgate Motor: Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With the push of a power liftgate command switch (liftgate closed), the power liftgate control module will signal the latch assembly to release the liftgate from its primary closed and latched position to the released and movable position. The liftgate motor-mounted engage actuator then engages the liftgate motor assembly, which moves the liftgate into the open position. The liftgate motor provides the torque and power to move the door to its full open or closed position (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS - OPERATION) for additional information.
