Wow.. I sent several hours and saw about 10 different videos and wasn't able to find this "lever". This guy made it super easy. I walked out and opened it on my first try.
Really helpful note about purchasing rear driver's door actuator and swapping the plate from your old rear back gate actuator. I did this and saved $60.
Brother you took the words right outta my damn mouth all the other videos failed horribly at showing the actual mechanism! Thanks a million I got her open in 15 seconds after watching yours🙌🏼🤘🏼
I have to thank you for the info about the left rear and gate lock being the same. I swapped the parts to make the gate work again until I get around to fixing the left rear now. I left the left pass door unplugged for now. Its much easier to reach in and unlock that door than not having access to the gate.
@@ticklekinky This reply made the whole video worth making. Growing up, I had a wheelchair bound brother that I was responsible for helping to school and back home on the farm. There was one handicap bus with an odd schedule that made use very limited. I am glad that this eased some of the challenges in caring for your child. GOD Bless!!!
This is a good vid. Scared me for a second though about not being able to find an aftermarket lock actuator lol I guess maybe it's cuz the video is 6 years old cuz I found them online and on amazon for like $38. Thanks for the vid!!!!
Great video I had to kinda do the same thing on a 2004 jeep liberty the fuel pump in the tank you couldn’t buy one with the sending unit on it so I did buy a 2003 fuel pump and Frankenstien it all together and it works perfect oh by the way the fuel pump assembly that goes into that gas tank bought it on Amazon for $45
I read on the comments here a fellow tied a zip tie around the plastic with a string attached. Anyone out there try this and if so how did you get the zip tie around?
Yesterday, on the way to work, the power locks on my 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited were engaging and disengaging, while I was driving. After that happened, every time I attempt to manually engage the power lock switch on the driver's door, up, or down, nothing happens. What do you think might be the issue causing that failure?
It would seem that you had some sort of short between the power lock switch and the locks themselves that finally burned out or blew a fuse. Check your fuses first. if you find that the fuse for the door locks is blown, check continuity to see if the circuit is grounding out, then if warranted, replace the fuse and diagnose from there... I hate electrical gremlins!!! If you are mechanically limited, you may want to take it to a trusted mechanic.
@@2shareinfo363 Edited: Thank you for your advice. Last night, 25 February, I changed out the yellow 20 Amp fuse in the number six position, left side, that pertains to BCM/Power Locks, and that seems to have fixed the issue. (The old fuse looked burnt on the terminal ends) And I know all too well about gremlins. My Jeep has had its share of wiring harness issues over the years.
You can also ziptie a ziptie with a string around the white or yellow plastic and ziptie it really tight and you'll have a string u can jst tug and it will unlock instick of putting your hand in flicking it up. That's what I did an wrk all the time
@@garyduran1 It took a little time. But just pre bend the tip an middle of the tie. So when u put ur hand in there the tie will be curved towards you an around the string then jst put it hand in there an loop it around the little hoe the white plastic has
Our jeep makes the same sound you described in the beginning of the video. Would you recommend getting the rear left door part or the entire rear gate actuator as a fix?
@@2shareinfo363 No worries. Ended up reading another comment on where they bought their rear gate actuator and purchase it for around 160. Fixed it in less than 15 minutes and this video was a huge help. I appreciate it!
2011 Liberty displaying "GATE", most annoying ALARM KEEP TRIPPIN - I sprayed WD40 - cnt find someone with the correct answer thats not looking to charge an arm and a leg. Thinking its the wire knowing there's a little rust there.......any idea/s to solve? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, yours is a lot newer than mine and may have some feature that I'm not familiar with. A GUESS would be a door check switch that indicates when the door/hatch is ajar. Hope this helps.
I found the latch unless there is more than one and it easily moved. You can hear it clicking when I move it, but it still does not open. What should I check next?
Okay, not my EXACT problem, but good enough info to get me fixed I think. My rear gate will not lock, hence even if the rest of the Jeep is locked up, someone can still open the back glass and gate. Now, if it gets opened the horn will sound, but the problem is, it still opens. I will come back here tomorrow, and let you know if I got it fixed.
My moms 05 jeep liberty... I'm really trying to pry that white lever.. every which way.. as well as with pulling the handle from the outside etc. fuckn piece of garbage plastic b.s. stuck like nothing else even ...prying it super hard.. and all I'm trying to do is replace a break light bulb. 😃 I know not to buy jeeps now... sticking with classics for sure
I'm not clear on your issue. Window actuators and the door latches are two separate systems. The hatch does have a switch in the handle that opens the rear window but the side passenger doors have totally independent operating systems.
2shareinfo thank you for responding. This was the closest to my issue I could find. I was looking up issues with the hatch because mine has gone from sometimes not catching to not catching at all and ringing because the gate is open. Before that all my windows gave out.i used a bunch of empty two liters to hold the door windows up.
Colleen, I have had to replace a couple of the window actuators in the doors. I have not posted a video on that or the hatch latch but there are some videos available to help you through. The rear gate as I said has a switch in the handle that tells the window latch when to unlatch and push the hatch glass up. Again, there are some decent videos to help you through. These repairs are fairly simple and shouldn’t intimidate you. It is unfortunate that all of these issues seem to appear at about the same time, but that’s pretty much what happened to me. You can order Doorman aftermarket parts that are pretty much the same as OEM and believe it or not you can get most of it from Amazon or Rock Auto or Parts Geek. Be sure that you look at the descriptions carefully to insure you getting the proper parts. Hope this offers a little more help. Blessings. 2shareinfo
@@2shareinfo363 I recently received the tailgate liftgate latch actuator that I ordered from ebay. I removed the old one and then I began to compare the two. The new one wouldn't due to the screw holes were in the wrong location. The single hole need to be on the left and the 2 holes on the bottom. My part had the single on the top right. Also, the little bracket that the little rod attaches to should also be on the left side. Mine was on the right. The part said it was for the tailgate but there is no way that it would work.

great advice! The gate opened when I found the right spot and the rest of the repair was easy. The OEM part worked and the duck is no longer sick

Thank you found the actuator and open up like magic thanks!
So helpful I looked at so many videos about this and this guy is so good
Great to hear!
Thank you sir my girlfriend baught a 2002 jeep liberty and the rear gate door will not open. Looks like this video will help immensely 👍
Glad to help.
U can ziptie a ziptie with a string around it an you'll have a string u can jst tug with out always having to put your hand in there
Pick n pull junkyards are your best friend

You can also ziptie
a ziptie with a string around the white or yellow plastic and ziptie it really tight and you'll have a string u can jst tug and it will unlock instick of putting your hand in flicking it up. That's what I did an wrk all the time
How did you get the zip tie around that white plastic? It’s a tight spot in there.
@@garyduran1
It took a little time. But just pre bend the tip an middle of the tie. So when u put ur hand in there the tie will be curved towards you an around the string then jst put it hand in there an loop it around the little hoe the white plastic has
@@garyduran1 or you can take out the lock assembly an zip tie it an tie a string to it also. An places it back in

Glad it helped.
Our jeep makes the same sound you described in the beginning of the video. Would you recommend getting the rear left door part or the entire rear gate actuator as a fix?
Really it depends on what you can afford. There was a $30 difference when I bought mine. Sorry for delay have been swamped between work and home.

It's a sensor that you need to unplug or replace.
I found the latch unless there is more than one and it easily moved. You can hear it clicking when I move it, but it still does not open. What should I check next?
If you are moving the little swing latch, that should do it. If that doesn't do it, you may need to go to a body shop. Wish I had better news.
This was an excellent video, thanks
Glad we could help

Glad to help

Smart man !
I swear Lucas Electronics helped Mopar with their electrical systems. It is not just the Liberty that suffers
Hahahaha!!! That could very well be the case.
Any chance you wrote down the part numbers?
Sorry, but no.
sorry but no
Mine will open when it’s cold outside but for get it when it’s hot 🥵 out side
Good information. 👍
Thank You.
YOU'RE NOT SHOWING THE ACTUAL PARTS THAT I SHOULD BE TRYING TO MOOOOOVE THO🤷🏾♂️
OR HOW TO MOVE THEM.
look at the video where I showed you the little switch and talked about having to use a brake tool to pry it. That's what allows it to lock or unlock
@@2shareinfo363 oh, I found it, thanks!!
I was trying to push it in the wrong direction 🤣
