Dorman - OE Solutions Liftgate Latch Release Switch P/N:901-156
Replace a failed liftgate release switch with this Dorman switch, the Dorman - OE Solutions Liftgate Latch Release Switch 901-071, which is designed to signal the liftgate latch to release when pressed. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2017 GMC Acadia and 2008-2017 Buick Enclave. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A liftgate that won't release when the switch is pressed, or that releases only some of the time, can be a sign this switch may need replacing. The latch, actuator, wiring or a fuse can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. If a failed release switch is the cause, the 901-071 replaces it.
