2018 Honda Pilot fix for power lift gate

[@andypadilla2521]

Thank you so much for your video. It solved my exact same problem on my 2016.

I had zero faith this would work. I tried to trick the computer that the gate was closed so I could try to keep the radio on at the drive-in. Something got jammed up and about 2 months later the tail gate light came up on the dash and the gate stopped working. This definitely fixed first try. 👍👍👍

I'm in Italy with my 2009 Odyssey, and this video just saved me so much trouble. Thank you!!

2017 Pilot. The liftgate randomly stopped working today. I tried your "trick". It fixed the problem. Thank you for making the video!!

I came across your video because I literally just installed my wife’s trailer wiring in her 2018 Pilot and now ours is doing the same. I have actuated the lock and release manually a few times now and still no go. I’ll keep trying though. Thank you Bob! *update (2 hours after original comment): I could not get this fixed as Bob said he had luck with on his 2018 Pilot. I played with it for quite some time and ultimately I had to disconnect the battery again with my hatch still open, reconnected the battery, started the car, touched and held the power button on the infotainment system for 3-4 seconds. I then reached up on top of the open hatch and grabbed the opener and it very slowly lowered on power. Once closed, I turned off the car. Started it again and it worked seemingly flawlessly after that.

@@robthbeyer I don’t know if the “like” and “subscribe” really does anything or helps you out, but you got both from me. Thanks again, Sir.

I tried your method, and it worked on my 2016 pilot, while the video method didn't, so thank you very much for taking your time and explaining how you fixed the problem.

[@mvanalst2003]

@@maxolifirovskyi7581 I’m glad I could actually help! Ultimately, my wife and I sold our Pilot. It wasn’t the right vehicle for us. We much prefer our 2023 Toyota Sienna AWD. Take care.

Glad to hear it!

What if the manual latch isn't working?

[@robthbeyer]

Sorry, I didn't see your question. I didn't run into that problem. Hopefully you got it working.

[@DavidHernandez-dq9no]

My Honda Pilot won't open and I don't know what to do.
