Liftgate Release
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The liftgate release switch operates the liftgate latch electronically. When the switch is pressed, the BCM processes the input and releases the liftgate latch.
The doors must be unlocked electronically in order for the BCM to release the liftgate latch. When this condition is met and the BCM receives the input from the liftgate release switch, the BCM provides power to the latch release motor. For the power liftgate, refer to BODY CLOSURES .
