I have had this problem for a while, but now it's time to sell the beloved Armada and I really want to fix this problem first. I have the LE model that I bought new and the power liftgate has a problem where it will open ,most of the time, but when you close it via button on the c-pillar, key, dash button, it doesn't matter, will either start to close move about 1 inch then open again as if something was in the way of it, or it will go down within an inch of closing, then open as if it hit something. I googled around an couldn't find anything, does any one here know how to fix it?

Could be one of 2 things. Either the shocks are really bad so when the door starts to power move and the shocks are not assisting causing the limit switch to think something is in the way. Or the limit switch is bad and you have to replace the entire lift gate motor. You can;t get it seperate cause it's built into the motor

replace the motor, there is an internal bolt that comes out in the path of the motor so it'll jam and open back up. I replace these alot its pretty common.
