All built the same but all buggy in their own ways. Do you report those "bugs"? I hope you do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out as vehicles and anything else become more computerized, they are all susceptible to issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-Mo Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Haven't heard from Fordtech1 in a while. That guy is awesome! I can't speak for him, but I know if anyone, he is the person on this forum that may have the real answer to this nagging liftgate problem, not just speculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Sorry you are continuing to have issues. The system seems like it is simple to the end user, but in reality it is quite complex. 2 linear actuators, multiple pinch strips, latch assembly, multiple open/close input paths. This is not made easier on the technician or the FSE by Ford's migration to FDRS for diagnostics. I'm gonna assume TSB 19-2193 has been performed? What "sensor" did they replace? Pinch strips? Drive motor assemblies? Latch? Gotta be honest, it probably IS a software bug so replacing parts to correct a software issue most likely will not help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the hands free sensor, sorry I don't know the technical terms for it, that you use when you kick under the bumper be causing this issue somehow?

With weird gremlins, I've learned to never use the word "can't". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. Yes. I figure there is always at least a slim possibility of something like that even though it shouldn't be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Lake Gal Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Issues occur whether or not Fob is in or out .... stand by -- the saga appears to be continuing ...ugh!!! I don't know which parts by specific type have been changed .... I only recall two sensors, type(s) unknown and they did try disabling the "glide my foot under the truck function" to see if that helped or resolved -- unfortunately, it made no difference... Have a great rest of the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
