There is an on/off button on the drivers/window side, last one on the first row. Make sure that button is on the "on" position before checking fuses or ripping apart the car. My husband reminded me. I remembered my knee hitting those buttons awhile ago and must have turned it off. I've been using the remote to open the hatch up until now as well as the button by steering wheel. I pushed the on back on and wah la! It works again. No need for new part.

I just wanted to say thank you. My rear hatchback stopped working and I had no idea why. So to KZfaq I went. I saw your video, and as a baker by trade was very intimidated by the process of getting the panel taken off. I did nothing about my rear hatchback for 2 months because of my apprehension and nerves of just making things worse. I broke this morning and decided that I was going to fix it, rewatched your video and had it fixed in under 20 minutes. Along with being put back together. Very simple process. All I did was unplug and plug those two plugs in and out or I guess out and then in. Walked around the back of the car hit the button and WAMO! I thank you very much

Thanks for the insight regarding removing the panels. Needed to do this on my 2019 Rogue in order to replace the power liftgate motor cylinders. Also had to partially remove both of the upper panels in order to get at the power connector for disconnect of the old cylinders and connect the new cylinders.

I was able to follow your instructions and it solved my problem. Literally took me 15 minutes even though I have a 2018 Nissan Rogue

Terrific. I fixed a friends Rogue using your video. Super easy and quick. Panels came off and it want the connectors on the controller box!! So helpful!

Thanks for posting this! Today I was driving home and kept seeing a red line underneath the picture of my vehicle on the dash. Couldn't figure it out as I heard a strange rattle. Turns out my hatch wasn't locked. Buttons no longer operated the power lift and for the life of me I couldn't get the darn thing to lock. Can't drive around with an unlocked liftgate! Used your method and now it opens, immediately closes, and latches. I'll take it until I can get to a mechanic.

Thank you so much sir, the information helped me a lot to find the module

Worked like a charm, my man! Ours stopped working after going through an auto car wash and one of the flaps that cleans your car hit the switch on the outside and started opening the lift gate mid-wash. It stopped, but I guess it overloaded one of the those switches. We did what you said and it started working again. Much appreciated!!!!

So helpful. You saved me hundreds of dollars with video. I didn’t have a socket wrench so removing the bolts on the panel was a bit harder but still managed with a normal wrench and a butter knife!

The hatch on my 2016 rogue stopped working 6 months ago. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the connector but warranty ran out and that there was no fix except putting a new door on. That's ridiculous!!! And I told them not an option. They gave me bs and said they would try playing around with it. Probably did the same thing you did in the video. It worked for a month then crapped out again. I will try this on the weekend and if it works will have some words for Nissan dealership. Thanks for your video.

I just noticed today that my liftgate its not working so my husband its going try that, I hope we can get fix with this video and information video.

Thanks for posting this. I had to spend $1k to repair the lift gate last year just two weeks past my warranty. Nissan would not cover the repair due to my vin number. Now, one year later, the lift gate is not working again (completely dead at all optional controls). I'm hoping this is the reason what's wrong and I'm not having to spend another $1k to fix this again. It's very hard to own an SUV that you can not access the back cargo area.

Thanks so much for helping me fix my liftgate and save money!

Thank you for hopefully solving my issue. My rogue is new so I’ll have dealer fix it but they may need to see your video!

Use “silastic” to hold them in place and protect against vibration etc. (silicon elastic polymer...)

This help me it worked for me thank you so much

In my case, the Car Battery became bad and that was the reason the lift gate was not working. I replaced with a new battery and the tail gate started working.

Thanks for the video! Fixed mine just like you said.

My 2013 Pathfinder liftgate can only be closed automatically and only by the key button. It never can be opened when the power door “on”, it makes an awful sound inside clutch. How do you think.. could this inspection help me?

How do you get the covers off of the ten mm bolts with the cargo latches?

My liftgate will go up when I use the button on my key or the one in the cockpit, but not when I press the button on the hatch. I wonder if its the same cause...

Thanks for the video really helped

Thank you for sharing Same problem just started on our Nissan Did this fix continue to work on your moms car?

Taking the panel off was very easy, I did not take mine all the way out. I left it attached near the back seat. I disconnected the plugs and reconnected them and it did not change anything. Do you happen to know where the fuse is located for this? I will probably put a new module in (if its not too expensive) and see if that fixes the problem.

What if the lift gate doesn’t open at all? How do I get in there?

What is that black box next to it?

In my rogue 2016 sometimes opens but most times it makes a small move to open about 2 or 3 cm and closes immediately.Do u think is the same issue?

I have a 2016 Murano...stopped working about 2 weeks ago. It would not beep or function with the key Fob or the inside button on the dash. Checked glove box and that was still enabled. I unhooked the battery and that got it working but only for 3 days then crapped out again. I unhooked the battery again and it lasted only x1 day. This problem definitely doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue otherwise I'd think resetting the battery would work permanently. I am reluctant to spend $1000 to have the dealer start replacing hardware on the car. I may try this to see if it helps

I have a 2015, same everything....mine works using the key fob and the button near the dash, however the button on the inside and outside of the liftgate will not work to open/close it...any ideas?

Hey thanks I will actually check that. Mine it can open bit can’t close so might one of the connector.

thank you soooo much

Thank you!

So mine stopped working ummm like about a year ago.. and have just not used it. Curious if yours made any attmept to unlatch when you hit the buttons? Mine makes like a motor noise (like its trying to do something) but then wont actually release.

Great job!

How do you get the back hatch to open to do the work like the video if it doesn't open normally?

This procedure did not work for me. In fact it made it worse. The power tail gate wasn't working properly, but at least it was working in manual mode. Now it doesn't even work in manual mode. The latch actuator isn't doing anything now and the tail gate won't close all the way. The connectors weren't loose at all, and there was no debris or corrosion to clean on them.

Thanks!

I have a 2017 Nissan Rogue and the Liftgate opens with the button inside and key fob and if you touch the rear door handle but it won't close? Any ideas?

Would you happen to know if its the same for tge murano i have a 2016 murano and my liftgate has just been a pain 🤦🏻‍♂️ it would beep but would not open.

Thank

What about my Nissan rouge sv?

Yes this helps. I was just charged for a new lift gate, which is the same one I've had already. Guess the shop figured a chick wouldn't know anybetter

A few hundred jeez I'm having a issue with mine too that's alot of money to pay ugh

This works for me.. but i keep having to do it. I have noticed as strange as it sounds, it only " fails" when I use it first thing in the morning. If I drive it first it works just fine. My side panel in the back is all busted up inside from having to access this stupid thing all the time. If I have to use it first thing in the morning i push the button to open it right as it goes to latch and close it again five or six times till I think it might work right. See it only does this when it closes. The scan tool say closer condition and the only way and I do mean only way to clear that code is to unplug this thing and then clear out the BCM code that will happen because you unplugged it. If you dont clear the BCM code the door will fail more often. Im at 8 months of playing with the door on my 2017 Rogue. If anyone has anymore ideas.. please tell me.

My 2018 will go up put won't come down
