Liftgate does not open either by FOB or Door Switch
My liftgate on my 2008 GL 450 opens with the fob, opens with the indoor switch and opens using the outside handles. It opens in every way possible. It will NOT close with the fob or the indoor switch. I have to close it manually. When closing it manually, you do hear the motor run as it latches (it does latch).
The problem is with closing it either with the fob or the indoor switch on the door. It opens just fine with the fob and door switch.
What could close it not to close (go down) either by fob or door switch but NOT OPEN. According to the dealer it needs hydraulic fluid but they've lied to us before and we don't want to pay for a fake or very temporary repair.
Any ideas?
