I checked my gate and all of the lock opertions for that matter todya. I think that the "clunk" is just the actuator resetting, as there is nothing lose rattling etc. in my gate. The lectronics all seem to be in order right now...and I have an exorsist on call in case the electronic demons attack

Yep, I got the clunk from day uno...11/2/05. Not too worried about it but I will have them fix it when I take it in.

Mine clunks....but nothing is loose. Disney sound effects I guess.

I've gone through the ordeal of the rear hatch not functioning, and getting the actuator replaced. Before it malfuctioned there was no clunk of any kind when opening, but afterwards it makes a really loud clunk when opening. If your's is making the "clunk" then I don't think you should worry about it.

yeah I played with it last night...and it seems like it's the actuator reseting itself...

Went to the car, slow at work, and tryed to find the rear liftgate release lever, could not find it. Took a 7" screwdriver, and with the liftgate up I locked the latch. I slid the screwdriver into the slot and pointed towards the lower part of the latch on the driverside. With a little bit of fishing and pushing, was able to unlick the latch. It is not where the book says. It can be done, but take a lot of fishing. You have to angle the screwdriver downwards. Best is to try it with the liftgate open. Good luck!!

Um....if it's already open, then why would you need to find the release lever?

coolsurf

JX3, it's easer to try it with the liftgate open, that way you can see both sides and watch it work.

jx3

Have you gotten it to work with the door closed?

coolsurf

JX3, yes, but a lot harder to find the right spot.
