Liftgate and Liftgate Window Release

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The liftgate release operates the liftgate latch electronically. When the release switch is pushed, the switch is closed, indicating to the SJB  to release the liftgate latch.

The SJB  monitors the liftgate release switch and the liftgate window release switch. The doors must be unlocked electronically in order for the SJB  to release the liftgate latch or the liftgate window latch. When this condition is met and the SJB  receives a request from the liftgate release switch or the liftgate window release switch, the SJB  provides power to the corresponding latch.
