Power Liftgate System: Chime/Thermistor: Removal

Open the liftgate.
Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
Remove the rear light bar assembly from the vehicle. Refer to LIFTGATE for the procedure.
Using your hands, grasp the light bar at its sides next to thermistor/chime assembly and gently pull the two sides of the light bar apart until the thermistor/chime assembly can be removed.
CAUTION: Locate the wires coming from the chime/thermistor. On a piece of paper, note the wire color and cavity the wires are currently installed in on both the component and connector side of the harness. This will prove helpful later.
Locate the wires going to the chime/thermistor. Cut the tie strap and trace the wires to the electrical connector and back the wires out of the connector. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
