I use my car to drive for Uber and Lyft. Recently, at the airport, I helped a passenger put their luggage into the cargo area, then used the button inside on the left panel to close the liftgate, as I always do. I got in the car and started to drive, until my passenger told me that the liftgate was still open! This has happened 4 different times now in the last 2 weeks. The car was in park when I opened the liftgate and when I closed it (or so I thought). When I put it into Drive, I should have gotten a warning light on the instrument panel, saying Liftgate Ajar, but there was nothing.
I’m assuming that there’s a sensor that can be replaced, rather than replacing the latch or any other component, correct? I haven’t seen a sensor in any of the diagrams of the liftgate. Does anyone know where it would be?
Thanks for your help!
