How to fix tailgate sensor

50

Asked by Ramiror Apr 15, 2017 at 07:12 PM about the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello

My Dodge Caravans tailgate sensor stopped
working in the middle of the night. This meant that
all the lights turned on and drained the battery as it
thinks that the tailgate is open.

I am sure that there a part that I can buy and
change it. Do you know how I can go about fixing
this? I am open to hear other solutions.

Thanks
Ramiro

????? The courtesy lights and liftgate ajar light may illuminate intermittently. Our technicians tell us that switching the wires at the liftgate ajar switch connector will correct this condition. ?????

I have a 2017 Dodge Grand caravan. My window in the gate was vandalized.... repaired window but now my Alert and light is on saying gate is open when it’s actually closed. I turned off the light. It works so far but gate is still showing that it’s open when it’s closed. Can someone help? I’m not sure how to go about this?
