Hi all! Need some info on the back lift gate on my 2012 Nissan Quest. Worked fine until a few months ago when I had to have the alternator replaced. Immediately afterwards, I discovered the gate would not open from the outside, and when I pressed the key fob to lock/unlock the doors the gate did not respond. However, it opened manually from the inside if someone crawled through and released the lever. Lived with this until a few weeks later, when I accidentally ran the battery down and used my jump box to jump the vehicle off...after having a dead battery the lift gate went back to working almost as normal again - it would open from the outside, key fob unlocked and locked it, etc. Only issue was that the "self-closing" feature that pulls the gate completely shut once you gently close it wasn't working, but hey, I could live with that. Worked fine for about 2 weeks, and then quit again. It still opens manually from the inside. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I really don't want to take it to Nissan and be charged an arm and a leg for a repair.
