  2. Liftgate malfunction

    in Exterior & Body

    Posted

    I solved mines I think. Weak 2 year old battery. Had a AGM battery that was low on voltage. Never suspected it since it was 2 years old.  But did notice it was cranking slower than usual. Finally killed it one day when I left the radio on without running the.engine for like 25 minutes. Figured change it since that how long my batteries last. And after swapping it out,  trunk opens up everytime.

    @2011edgese do you drive special operating conditions regularly or do you have a good mix of highway/city driving?  Do you use a battery tender to top up regularly?  Are you in the deep south?  Motorcraft brand or ...?

     

    Sounds like enough deep discharge cycles are on the battery to drain in 2.5 years.

    Do a mix. But more stop and go I side city. California. I'm in a warm area and do hit the desert area about 5 times a year. I get the O'Reilly batteries or Auto zone ones. I think they are the Ever Start ones... if that's the name. I do charge a lot if devices while on the road for work. Cells, laptop, drones, Dslr. But always when the engine is running. Sometimes if not a lot if times with it idling. Never used any battery condition devices. Just drive the car and wait till it dies. My last battery was a AGM 300$, thinking it's my solution. Also died within 2 1/2 years. But that's the pattern I noticed since owning Edges for the last 9 years. 2 /12 years average.

    Thanks for the link. That might be what I'm hearing. Just glad it's that and not a tranny about to go!  Can it be left alone in your opinion? I remember my old 2011 did it forever and never really got past that tik noise.

    I've owned a 2011 6cyl edge and a 2015 ecoboost 4cyl edge. Both had this sound but nothing ever failed. Wondering if you guys have heard it and what the heck is it? When in a stand still and give it a little gas  let's say a normal stop and go stop sign scenario.... You hear a "Tap" sound. I noticed it's also sounds when the auto tranny switches gears to 2nd but you don't hear it on the other gears. I personally hear it at take off all the time and sometimes when coming to stop and you feel the tranny drop to 2nd or first gear. It's always a audible "Tap" sound. Both my cars do it. Anyone else know what the heck I'm talking about?

  15. 2015 titanium power lift gate release latch?

    OK. Maybe someone can explain this odd event.

     

    Yesterday while driving normally in a city street, my RADIO shut off completely. It went all black like power shut off. Car was 100% fine. Just the radio turned completely off. Kept driving it to my destination. Figured the car is breaking down electronically since the trunk is dead. Got out the car... locked it. Didn't even want to deal with it. A hour later got back to the car and started it. The Radio came back and it was fine. And guess what? The electric trunk now works. Wtf? :/

    What about @Perblue 's post?

    The power liftgate latch doesn't have the level that unlocks like the pdf shows. That's for manual. The power one just has a button. I'm suspecting maybe a fuse.... I located the fuse number to 76 30A power liftgate module. But it's under the fuse box apparently.  I took the box off but don't see tabs to separate the button to see the bottom fuse where the 76 30A is.  So maybe anyone can share how they separated it?

    From what i get there are 2 ways. 1 with the button, this will only work if the motor is still functioning and it's the outside button that died. The other way is shown below that incase the motor quits responding. You should now be trying the all vehicles way. You did check to make sure your hatch isn't dissabled in you dash menu? some have had luck just turning that setting off and on again.

    Thxs dude. I'm lost on this. Yeah. Pressing the button does nothing. And my 2015 does not have the option to disable and enable on the menu, I was aware of that method but nothing in the menu. I tried the push the open button for 5 seconds aswell on the inside and outside of the car. The only thing last is check the fuse some have said could work. I have to look for it. Also.. I heard unpluging the battery for a few minutes.... another option to try. But in your opinion, if the button on the latch does ZERO, mean it's a dead latch? Does that mean I have to open the panel and unholy the whole thing? I would think there would be a way to release it in case of emergency. Any other tips are welcomed. :)

    By any chance do you have the power lift gate version? My 2015 titanium model won't open. I found the push button inside the small door, I push it and it goes in but does nothing.  I'm wondering if I need to push harder but nervous to break it. How much force is needed? And once pushed in, any twisting or lifting  on it? I tried pushing as far as I could and tries pushing on the door at the same time. Nothing.
