hi, i see you are new so welcome.

there have been issues with lift gate handle over the years so it may help to do a bit of searching.
you can also search for the qx mode of the same year as they were both made on the same line and share many components.

here is a thread:

2006 QX56 - Power Liftgate doesn't work

The liftgate does not open using the button in the back, the button in the front, or the key fob. It also does not work by using the handle on the liftgate itself, I do not hear any clicking from the solenoid. The only way I can get the liftgate to open is by popping the glass open, and...

2010 Armada Rear Hatch latch continuously breaking

My 2010 Armada rear hatch latch (mostly the glass and occasionally the door) continuously breaks where I am unable to open the glass or door. I have had this fixed numerous times only to be broken again. Any suggestions? Anyone know of a recall on this?

there are more options at the bottom of this thread.

some cases it could be the cable has detached from the handle, other cases it could be the motor. regardless, you will have to remove the back door finisher to inspect.

Welcome Busch...nice to have another pilot here....

I had the same issue. You can troubleshoot a few things fairly quickly:

1. When you pull the handle, does the lift gate motor operate? If so, then see #2.

2. When you lift the gate manually, is the actuator arm very loose? This was my case, and removing the panel revealed the connection bolt was missing. Easy fix.

Check the above first, if the motor is working, as it's an easy fix.

Please, before you do anything, just disconnect the battery for 10 seconds and reconnect. We have had our '08 QX56 since new (July, '07) and the lift gate has mysteriously stopped working twice. Both times a "reboot" fixed it.

there is a mode that turns off the motor so the rear hatch is free to manually open and close. you press the button a certain way to enable this. its in the operator's manual.
