10.2.2  Checking Motor Start Solenoid and Power 
Cut-off Solenoid

Motor start solenoid.

Power cut-off solenoid.

Both the motor start solenoid and power cut-off solenoid 
(if installed) can be checked by bypassing the solenoid 
itself.

1.  Use jumper cables for this test.

2.  Connect one jumper cable to battery side (2) of the 

solenoid.  Connect the other cable to motor side (1) of 
the solenoid.

3.  If the liftgate is activated, the solenoid is defective and 

should be replaced.

10.2.3  Checking the Power Cable

To check for a defective power cable, run the motor 
directly from a spare battery using jumper cables.

1.  Remove the battery connection to the motor.

2.  Connect the negative jumper cable (ground) directly 

to the liftgate.  Connect the positive cable to the 
terminal on the motor start solenoid.  

3.  If the motor operates, the battery cable is defective 

and should be replaced.

10.2.4  Checking Cylinder Piston Seals
(drifting - caused by seal leakage)

A-1054

1

2

Piston rod seals (1) and packing gland nut and seals (2).

1.  Completely raise the liftgate and hold the switch in the 

“UP” position while checking for oil flowing out of the 
cylinder’s breather port.

2.  If a continuous flow of oil comes out of this port 

(while the liftgate is all the way up and the switch is 
held “UP”), then the piston seals are leaking and the 
cylinder should be rebuilt or replaced.

If the cylinder is under warranty, do not rebuild.  In these 
cases the cylinder will be replaced.

10.2.5  Checking Flow Control Valve

If the cylinder does not operate or operates slower than 
normal, remove the fl ow control valve and hook the 
hydraulic hose directly to the cylinder.  If the cylinder 
operates properly, replace the fl ow control valve.
