When I press any of the buttons to open the lift gate, it will only open an inch or two and then it automatically closes again. I then have to manually open the lift gate. When I try to close it, it's the same thing in reverse- it'll start to close, but after an inch or two, it reopens. I've done a lot of Internet searching but couldn't find anything. Anyone have any ideas that could help me out? Thanks!

Had the same issue. Tried replacing the helper strut, no luck. Tried the fuse F50 reset a few times, no luck. Ordered OEM motorized strut from a dealer out in Quebec who was providing a discount, just installed it, did the fuse reset and the problem seems to be fixed. Hope it stays that way. Just thought I'd share as this problem took me a year to fix. Kept trying different things as I didn't want to shell out extra money at the local dealer.
Thanks @jfroese0132,
This was the exactly what happened to mine. I'm at 100k miles. Guess the constant opening and closing to let the Mutts in and out, wears the wire to the point of breaking.
I also soldered the grey wire. Guessing it will hold up for a while!
I have Max Care, but the dealer close to me in Southern CA, San Juan Capistrano, is so busy and so terribly slow. I can predict this is how it would go.
I would set up an appoint for a Monday. Pay ahead a diagnostic $180 fee, Drop my Jeep off Sunday Night. Call them on Thursday and they would not have started it yet. the Following week it would be ready, Tell me it's not covered. After I ask them to check again and to spell my last name correctly, they punch it in - Hey it is covered.
I really Miss the Dealership in Marshfield MA......
When it stops working again I will order this one
