Open the tailgate with a single touch using the Dorman - OE Solutions Liftgate Latch Release Switch 901-159. This is the electrical switch that signals the power liftgate latch to release, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, 2007-2013 Escalade EXT, 2007-2014 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 and Tahoe, 2007-2013 Suburban 2500, 2007-2014 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL 1500, and 2007-2013 Yukon XL 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Function: Sends the release signal to the power liftgate latch when pressed.
  • Direct replacement: Installs in place of the original switch on the covered vehicles.
  • Serviceable fix: If a worn or failed switch is the cause of a liftgate that won't release, this replaces that switch.

Signs the original switch may need replacing include no response when the release is pressed, an intermittent release, or a switch that feels stuck. Because a liftgate that won't open can have other causes (latch, wiring, or actuator), diagnose the cause before replacing.
