I've read other threads on this forum but haven't found a similar specific issue to mine (maybe not searching correctly). My 2016 Jeep Cherokee North has factory power liftgate and about a month ago the liftgate won't close. It opens and latches just fine, and I'm not getting any error readings on the instrument panel. After the trunk opens just fine I press the button inside the trunk, beside the steering wheel, or on the remote, and the trunk starts closing and moves about 2 inches until it stops and returns back to the full open position. There are no obstructions in the way and this seems to have started happening out of the blue recently (I can't say something specific happened like something obstructing the tailgate).
Other issues noted seem to affect both the open and close, and latching. I tried removing and reinstalling the F50 fuse. Anybody have any thoughts? I'm used to doing my own repairs but haven't owned a vehicle previously with this much gadgetry. The right side lift support should only be assisting on the way up and keeping open, correct? Would I get an error code if I connect to a reader and will it point me to the issue?
The R67 recall is logged as performed via a quick VIN search and this is a very recent problem.
Thanks in advance!
