2015-2021 f150 power tailgate not opening. Making noise but still wont open. Fixed!!
If you are having issues with your tailgate not opening on command or sounds like it’s trying but won’t, it’s the actuator.
Most of these trucks have an extended warrantee on the actuator but my dealer was too far out so I did it myself.
You can send in the receipt to @Ford Motor Company and they will reimburse you for the part.

    Omg what a refreshing video this was. No twenty minutes plus describing how you were at the grocery store and you bought some cantaloupes and spaghetti and how you mother in law thought the color of the truck is wrong and so on followed by 15 seconds just replace that part. You’re my hero thanks for a straight to the point this is how you solve this issue. Two thumbs up.

    The three master connector bundles up under the left rear of the box need to have the contacts cleaned of corrosion and lubricated with conductive grease. In fact any electrical connectors for the tailgate assembly needs the same maintenance preformed. F150s have a hundred or so connectors in the various harness looms exposed to the elements that should be addressed.
