The liftgate on our 2001 is becoming increasingly flaky in its operation. The manual release works when it feels like it which isn't the end of the world but now, possibly due to the very cold weather, it doesn't always close and latch. This drained the battery today and while fortunately, it happened in the garage, it could have stranded my wife somewhere.
My questions is what is the best way to lubricate the latching assembly and is there any other maintenance that should be done to it?
