2003 Rendezvous Liftgate Switch
Hi I bought a 2003 Rendezvous CX with the exterior liftgate switch, that's located under the liftgate handle on the outside of the liftgate.
For some reason that switch does not work. The only way that I can open the liftgate is with the remote.
I tried opening the cover (inside the liftgate) for the tail bulb replacement and found out that there is a yellow/black wire with a 2-pin socket at its end hanging there.
It seems like that this wire has come lose of the switch and needs to be plugged back in.
Now my question is that does anyone know how to remove the panel inside the liftgate to access that switch from inside.
If I just remove the panel covering the Tail Lights, that is too high for any work to be performed on the liftgate exterior switch. It seems like the whole panel at the bottom of liftgate needs to be removed.
All your answers will be greatly appreciated.
Please Help!

Some of the later models of 2003 Rendezvous did have a liftgate switch on the exterior of the door, like mine does. Its rare, but it does exist.
On my 2003 RDV, there's no liftgate release switch (on the instrument panel) inside the vehicle .
Check the scanned page from the owner's manual.
