Thanks for this! I just did it tonight. Once I plugged in the new switch I tried pushing the button to see if I could hear it working, but it wasn’t until I secured the whole piece back on the car and put the nuts back on when it worked for me. Also, I had extenders for my ratchet, but my socket wasn’t deep enough to get to the nut. Thankfully I had a little baby wrench I kept that I was able to maneuver in the small areas to loosen the nuts. Getting the stuff off took me about 30-40 minutes

Sometimes it’s the small things that hold us back on fixes like this. Glad you found another tool to help get through it. And that’s strange about it not working until is all bolted up. Thanks for noting that in case someone else runs into this issue. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe

Update…. My new lift gate switch stopped working a few days after installation. I checked 3 fuses in the front associated with the lift gate module and they were fine. Coincidentally enough after I sprayed a little bit of silicone lubricant on the lift gate latch. It started working again after that and it’s been working ever cents so fingers crossed. There could be a wire contact issue that comes and goes, but who knows….

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for this video. We just moved to Mexico and bought a used 2017. The button on the outside split and instead of replacing it they put some basic button switch buried deep inside the switch. This video helped me replaced the part myself instead of having to go to a dealership for the work as that was my only alternative!

Thank you for posting this. On my 2014 equinox the rubber cover over the buttons is disintegrating. The mechanism itself works fine. Is the cover a replaceable trim piece or is it a fixed piece of the button assembly so the whole assembly has to be placed as you've shown?

You’re welcome. The rubber is sealed onto the button as one whole unit. To replace unfortunately you have to buy the whole mechanism that I showed in the video. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for tons more equinox videos.

What you do not show is a separate upper half plastic piece that fits around the rear window area. Other videos here show removing that piece first the the bottom half that you show here. Also a #30 Torx tip vice #27 was used. So looks like that plastic back piece is in an upper and lower 2 piece affair. I have a 2011 equinox. From your video I get impression that black plastic cover is one piece.

There is no need to remove the upper trim. I only remove precisely what I need. As you can see in the video the top plastic trim is still attached to the vehicle. You just pop the bottom panel out and it slides out separately. Also there is no t30 bit used in this service. The screw in this is a t27 as mentioned. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
