why does my rear tailgate not open? How to repair the switch on my rear tailgate Nissan Murano 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Worked like a charm. Thank you my friend!
Simple solution that worked for me was to disconnect the battery for at least 15 minutes. Reconnect it. Fixed!
I think you’re using your words incorrectly… fixed and working, are two different things but I’m glad you had some success with that I’m certain whatever the situation was is probably not resolved, but who knows it might work for a while
@@sharpcarco yes he did. the computer system is CAUSING the fail, and making profit for the dealer. look it up
he reset the codes
You’re like the dad I never had lol
Well, I try to be since I didn’t have one either…
Thank you so much for your helpful vids
This happens when Bubba tries to fix something - add another bulky metal to it. LOL. Gheezhus.
Oh, this is a first gen murano. damn. mine is different.
Thanks clay. Nissan said it would be $950 for mine bc it's a computer something or another part that is bad (it's been a couple years). Mine only happens when it's below 32 degrees out. The dealership does something that resets it bc when I get my car back from diagnosing it works until winter rolls around again and if I forget and use my fob when everything is frozen to load groceries in back of murano and I'll be danged it stops working again. Dealership wants to charge me $200 diagnostic even though I know what it is.
Ever get a permanent fix? Mine does the same thing.
do you have a video that shows how you do this step by step. I am not a mechanic but would like to try...need to see exactly what you did.
Very sorry to see Cindy I do not but I’m certain if you look at the video and pay attention you can absolutely figure it out if anyone else can do it you can do it too I wish you the best of luck have a great day
@@sharpcarco can you show clear that is that front or back side,I can not see any yellow Handel like that.i have 2003 Murano
Hakan Celik oof
how did you diagnose it? i have a Rogue and it does not open, i went to the liftgate module, unplug it, 5 seconds, plug it back it and the liftgate will work 3 times and go back in a kind of safety mode where it will not open no matter what switch you press (front, liftgate or remote)
I’m not sure what you got going on Gabriel but it sounds like you probably have more of a electrical problem than a switch problem like I did in this video I show you how I diagnosed it in the video at least if I remember correctly I did in your situation I’m not certain what you have going on I could guess that it may be a bad motor because it’s getting fatigued it could be a bad wire between the door and the body because The wire is getting moved when you’re opening and closing the door and Shorting out. That would be my first thing that I would check sorry wish I could be of some more help
Clay, when I ground the red wire, the actuator actually works, however when bridging the 2 switch wires, it doesn't work. That means replacing the switch will not fix. Does it mean the BCM is faulty?
I’m not exactly sure. But I would do a little bit further investigating by disconnecting the ECM and disconnecting different connectors in the engine compartment and look for corrosion.
A lot of scenarios when you replace a part it seems to cure the problem for a short period of time but the actual problem is corrosion in the connectors throughout the system the reason that replacing a component cures the problem for a little bit because it gets a better ground.
So double check everything like where everything connected together and make sure you don’t have any corrosion before replacing any parts
@@sharpcarco Thanks Bud. Since it works by grounding, think isolating BCM by installing switch over relay help?
Well so when I read your message originally I thought you were talking about a Skidoo snowmobile, I greatly apologize you’re working on a Nissan rear liftgate handle which you already know but I did not until just now
In that situation whatever makes that switch work is what you need to do if you do use a power source make sure you fuse that power source with something 10 A or less
If you’re going to isolate the ground I don’t think installing a relay would hurt anything at all.
Sounds like you pretty much got it figured out. Sorry I misunderstood your original message on what you were working on
The filler spot has the backup camera in it on my murano, and I checked the continuity of the button and I replaced the the latch and it still doesn't work.
Good idea what kind of switch is it I need to do this ti mine
My Nissan 2007 tailgate remains open and it tells on my dash monitor.
I tried with WD 40 to release that little white plastic lever at the tailgate but it didn’t work.
How can I get it to work?
would it not open from the dash-mine will not open from the dash or the back door
Clay, thanks for the video. I did the same diagnosis to my 2005 Murano a few months ago and got a replacement pressure button for ~$35. Installed it and doesn't work. I think there must be another issue, maybe electrical but don't see any wire frays (also checked fuses). The old button was worn out and could tell the button was bad and thought that would take care of it. Checked the actuator and it was lubed well and could manually move it with no problems, so don't think thats the issue. Any other advice you have would be helpful. Thanks!
I wish I could help but sometimes after I do that stuff I forget . If you're nearby I don't mind looking at it though .
My backup camera works when it wants to, my tailgate was bouncing itself closed as soon as I opened it, and now it won't open at all, doesn't even make a sound nor do the lights react when I use outside button/ keyfob/ or dash button.
And the handle to fold down backseats isn't working either 🤔
2009 Nissan Murano.
Checked all fuses, they are fine.
Clay, I have a 2007 murano. I replaced both Driver and passenger door lock actuators. Now the locks won’t stay unlocked when you press the unlock button. Also, the trunk won’t unlock or open. Any thoughts?
I thought when you were talking about the front doors maybe when you install the new switches you possibly been to linkage to Lock but I’m not sure . Because all of them don’t work sounds like you got an electrical problem going on I wished I had an idea to tell you maybe it’s as simple as check in the fuses I’m sorry I really don’t know
Clay Rogers the two front doors on the vehicle were replaced once before. The shop that did it cut the original wire harness and spliced in an after market actuator. I bought OEM parts and wired them back in to the factory harness. Now the trunk will not unlock, would you check fuses before replacing the rear actuator? Sorry for so many questions, I appreciate your response!
Where did you buy your filler switch at? I went to O'Reilly's here on Plainfield and they don't seem to have one nor know what I'm talkin about even with the part number ( and showing them this video haha) is there anything else I am going to need to buy in order to get this all completed... Cuz I'm sure you have extra stuff laying around you can grab and use and I obviously don't. Cuz I noticed you have those two wires coming out the pressure switch in when I was looking up some not have wires it's just the button!! Lol So pretty much where did you find the Pico brand because they don't carry it?
Thank you

Way way way too much money this was a three dollar switch
Hey buddy I changed out my switch and still not getting no power to the switch
Hey Clay. So I have a 2011 Nissan Murano whose tailgate won’t open. The dealership is telling me it’s going to cost $836 to replace the module! I don’t have this kind of money just laying around. Last year the same thing happened and they reprogrammed it and that was it. But now they are saying the whole module needs to be replaced. What do I do? Is there a way to fix this on a budget or am I out of options? Thanks!
I don't know about the 2011 model . I'm sure there's something that can be done to actuator motor without the module but I don't know what that would be . Look me up on Facebook under Clay's AC in auto repair I have some ideas I can private message pictures of
Great! Thx so much
BCM (Body Control Module).Go to the wrecking yard and get one.
Mine wont release but I can hear the motor working when I press the button. I also see it turning when I shine a flashlight in there and press the button. Any idea?
Clean the accuator assy.
Rippin butts and fixn trunks
Bro they're slowing down your videos for some reason
It could’ve been a problem with me when I made the video and uploaded it but no one said anything about that or it could be that the device that you’re watching on does not support the video stream or it could be your Internet connection. Sorry about that man that’s a pretty good video and gets a lot of views
bypass the switch. what I want is a MANUAL OPTION. where you just DRILL THROUGH THE FRIGGIN GATE and add something that has NOTHING to do with ANY of this computer driven crap. a key, that you turn, and it turns a mechanism, and it physically opens the friggin door. PERIOD. how do I do THAT?
Well, you figured out how to see all of that and not do it the way I showed you to do it so I’m sure you’ll figure out how to do it
@@sharpcarco youre exactly right. Arent you sick of all this "woops the software has failed and now your car wont work" crap?
these people are deliberately placing computer flash memory crap in between YOU and the use of the product, in CERTAIN locations that matter to you...
the drive stick... the doors (while at the same time, removing the key locks all over the cars except the drivers' side door) the hatch lock, the transmission shifting...
note where youre NOT seeing sudden failures... areas where you technically can live without it...
the blower for air conditioning or heat...the radio or things related to it... the power windows or things related to it... a cigarette lighter... power seats...
they added things to cause you to not be able to use the car... and placed computer tech THAT FAILS in the middle.. despite computer tech doing other things, they most certainly dont suffer from "sudden unexp[lained software fais" like the things I stated, in MANY MANY car brands,.. causing you dot return to a dealer and get charged hundreds of dollars... AND HOPEFULLY the cost is more than a third of what you paid for the used car, so you are tempted to buy a NEW car from them...
cant you see that these people are sabotaging the cars so as to screw us?
and youre likely more worried about my comment on your paage. Im not here to mock or belittle you. youre helping people. thats good. Im just saying that the car makers are doing this deliberately, and we need to have folk learning how to RETURN TO MANUAL options. like a friggin PLAIN OLD LOCK AND KEY that I can install. Some people are opting to bypass the computer based lock system and install a new wireless key system from amazon. Its cheaper in the long run.
since you attempted to be a wise ass, I thought i would add, that your switch idea didnt work. this is why i said what I said. @@sharpcarco
How can I figure out why my lifgate wont open replaced switch not motor it seams like there no power going to motor
I wish I could be of more help in this situation but unfortunately I did that a while ago and don’t remember the procedure exactly I’d recommend getting a Chiltons or a Haynes manual . They will show you the wiring schematic
Not a very good repair video.
the man never said how he diagnosed it.. did he bypass the switch by twisting the two blue wires together? he never diagnosed it on video. the man is on bullsh**
