Rear gate on 2017 forester won't power open

Asked by Beyondthehill Jan 01, 2019 at 08:39 AM about the 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The back gate on my Forester won't open by the key fob or the internal
button.  It will unlock.  I've been manually opening it but I'm afraid I will
damage it.  How do I fix the remote opener?
