- Can't open your lift gate? Tailgate button doesn't work or no power to the liftgate? Rear hatch is not opening on your Ford Escape SUV ( 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | XL | XLT | LIMITED ).
Rear hatch being stuck is a very common problem on Ford Escapes. Reason for this is that water drains down into the liftgate mechanism and usually the actuator goes bad or wires and connectors get corroded and are causing problems. Sometimes it even affects the power button lift gate switch. Fix is to replace the actuator, fix the wires, clean the connections and / or replace the liftgate switch.
Watch the video on how to access the actuator motor and how to replace it.

You're welcome!

Need to replace mine in an 09 Escape, guess these are notorious for eventually failing. Looks pretty easy thanks.
Ohh yes these always fail. Luckily it is easy to replace
Perfect video . Thank you sir .
Most welcome
I replaced my by myself with help of this video. It worked GREAT for a few openings and stopped again. Im so pissed. lol Now I have to check the button. Is there a video for that and or how to clean it? Pls and thanks.
Hi, sorry don't have the video on that but if I remember right you can also remove it once the inner panel is off. Often mud and water gets in there and damages the wires / connections. You can clean it by using electrical contact cleaner and also maybe test the switch using multimeter to make sure it is good
Is there any way to keep the moisture from going down there? I’ve had it replaced before but now I’m going to attempt to do it myself on a 2010
Thank you good sir!
Very welcome!
Already relaxed this part, replaced the fuse next move is replacing the button
Good luck figuring out where is the problem
Thank u thank u thank u sir.
Most welcome
Thank u
You're welcome
Keep trying to pull the lever up but it’s stuck
Where’s the lever? You never showed it.
It is just under the actuator. If you squeeze your hand in you should feel it. Than just pull it up to open the liftgate
My 2010 escape would not lock when closed! Good fuse,so I narrowed it down to that actuation motor

Hmmm it is really a bad design and water always comes there. It is not too hard to replace. good luck :)
