This just worked for me, too. Even after the latest Sync updates, the issue was not resolved. But simply doing this restored the proper functioning of the tailgate proximity unlock feature. I'll report back if it stops working again.
I just tried this and the hatch releases, but doesn't open?
There is not a power lift gate available. Once released by pressing button on lift gate, the lift gate will have to be manually opened.
Didn't work for me.
Tried it, seems to have fixed it for me as well.
That's what I thought. Don't see much advantage in fishing the keys out of my pocket when I can just unlock with my hand.
This worked for me too! Thank you!
I think I tried this and nothing changed for me but I have a theory. When you lock your doors, or tailgate, just in general, do you use the fob? Or the door touch locks? I use the door handle touch locks pretty exclusively as the only time I ever have the fob out is to autostart the thing in the morning, (since I never know exactly when I'm gonna leave I can't rely on the app) so if you're locking with fob, that might be the only way of getting the lift gate to recognize and auto unlock.
For sure I felt that the fob maybe confused the intelligent access as thats my primary entry into the vehicle. I would guess you’re onto something.
I think you solved my problem! I usually lock my BS with the fob and when I would try to open the liftgate by pressing the button on the liftgate, it wouldn't work. I should try locking my BS with the door touch pad, then see if the liftgate will open with the button on the liftgate.
I primarily lock the doors from the inside door button when I get out of the truck. i rarely use the door handle and never user the Fob. I think there is something to your theory though.
I tried this a week ago and have been trying it every day to see if it still works, and it does. The last try was outside the supermarket an hour ago.
