There is a plastic piece between the solenoid and the latch that often breaks; sounds like this is what has happened in your case. There is a way to get the glass door open and the drop gate open, so all can be fixed.
Do a search here for "how to open a stuck rear window-tailgate" |
Regrettably common problem, they used a cheap part that's prone to failure. You need one of these: https://amzn.to/3mRcvOi
And replace it by doing something like this: There are various other guides here if you do a search too. Getting that tailgate panel off is a pain though, you essentially have to break a couple clips to do it. I would up using a hole saw to cut an access hole so I could actuate the lever manually, then covering it with a sticker. It's old truck anyway, don't care, and now my lift glass works again. |
No need to do the above video to get the glass door open...follow the steps shown in the "How To Open A Stuck Rear Window". This gets the glass door open without breaking anything.
Now if the tail gate latch is broken...that is a different problem. |
