RE: 2001 T&C Limited rear door does not open automatic..
 

ok I see,
I try to close the door with the remot or inside the van and doesnt work too. Is that normal the door be very light to open or close by hand? Like the sides door if you try with your hand is very havy to open or close ( so I use a lot the remote and inside the van to open/close the side doors.)

thanks

Yes correct, it beeps (like truck when it gives rear), lights flashes and locker opens, the only thing that does not happen is the trunk door that won't lift.

Your problem sounds exactly like mine was.Try the shims and let us know how you made out.Start with one steel washer on each screw behind the rubber block and against the van body.If needed try two washers on each screw.Good luck

there is a lift gate module that might be failing on you,i beleive its in the rear quarter on drivers side.

correct, but how can I fix this?
thanks

This sounds exactly like mine. If I were you, I'd try replacing the latch on the liftgate. The part will cost you less than the diagnostic at the dealer. The dealer would have the benefit of a DRBIII scan tool which allows them to watch the switch states from the comfort of the driver's seat. However, if you really want to test it, you could take the interior trim off the liftgate, go inside with an ohm meter and manually check the state of the pawl switch when the door is in full closed position and then again when the door is popped. If the switch state does not change, you have verified the problem.

Maybe someone here can post a pin-out of the connector on the latch module that will show which pins to test.

Again-- after the liftgate control module pops the liftgate, it must receive the correct signal from th pawl switch indicating that the door is popped before it starts the opening sequence.
