The next most likely culprit, if your motor is operating and everything else appears to be in working order, is low battery voltage. To determine whether the battery is the problem, try using a booster. As advised by the manufacturers, always make sure the truck is running before using the liftgate. If the booster doesn’t fix the problem, you could need to replace the battery; in that case, it’s advisable to seek out experts for OEM parts and skilled installation.
Make sure the hydraulic reservoir oil level is within the permitted range for your particular model by checking the level. If the level is too low, it will be difficult for the gate to raise itself to deck height. The suggested fluid level can be found in the owner’s manual for your liftgate. The liquid will purge from the reservoir’s breather cap if the tank is overfilled. Run the gate several times to drain all extra fluid.
If the problem is a squeaking sound, it is probably due to a lack of lubrication or issues with the power unit’s internal gears, pulleys, or sprockets. For chains or pivot points, try using a lubricant made for lift gates. If that doesn’t address the problem, you might need to rebuild or replace the pump.
