    The lift gate on my T&C 2001 stopped working
    Will not respond to remote or internal switch
    Fuse is ok
    Checked lift motor and it runs when hot wired
    Door releases but will not power lift
    There is an electronic box where it appears the door may be controlled
    by next to the lift system
    Is this circuit board the likely cause of failure or should I check
    something else?

    If you keep hot wiring the system you may be in worse trouble then you
    think.
    If the door pops but just doesn't open it is probably the power latch
    assembly that is causing the problem

    Of course hot wiring in the auto could lead to some major issues
    I actually removed the lift assembly from the van and tested on
    workbench

    Is the electronic box likely the problem. I assume I have no way to
    test this.

    One more time, it is probably the latch assembly that is bad. The latch is
    what tells the liftgate module what position the door is in. If it does
    not know if the door is opened or closed it will not allow it to work at
    all.
    95% of all power lift gate doors that wont work are due to the latch
    assembly!!!-

    And the only way to check it out is to have a scan tool with the vehicle
