2005 Dodge Grand Caravan - Auto hatch, will not stay open? Sign In

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
Not sure of engine size.
80k Mileage

So, when I press the button for the automatic hatch in the back, it opens, but when it opens all they way, it seems to error out and it starts closing by itself.

Any idea why this might be happening? I don't see any adjustments on it, and not sure if it's an electrical problem or physical problem


Any help would be great, thanks.

Rick

While the lift gate is opening and you pull the handle that puts it into manual mode. In manual mode you should be able to manually fully open the lift gate. If the lift gate comes down, you probably have worn out lift gate prop struts.

The gate does not fall back down if I try to lift it manually. I'll have to check though, maybe they just don't have enough pressure to fully put it in the right position?
