Hi All,
I recently started to have an issue with my 2020 Yukon XL lift gate. It will open when I press the fob or panel button. However when I go to close it, the gate gets stuck after about an inch of movement and won't progress any farther to the closed position. I can manually get the gate to lower and it will lock just fine. I didn't have any issues opening the gate for the first week. Now I have a similar problem in the reverse- it will open a few inches and get "stuck." If I assist it with manual force, it will fully open. However the same is not true for closing it. I can't get it past the "stuck" point on the down movement to get it to keep going. I can't tell if the assist needs to be serviced or if there is a sensor somewhere that got knocked out of position while I was cleaning the car. I can hear the actuator running to try to move the lift gate, but it just doesn't go anywhere.
Any ideas?
