Have 1991 Caprice wagon with power liftgate release. When I push button on dash or on the tailgate. the window glass will not release. Have to use key in lock and turn it to release window and open it to open tailgate.

Problem. Tried to find replacement solenoid and cannot locate one on line or in parts stores. It appears to be a discontinued part. Having trouble finding a 91 to 96 (Only years and models shown this part applies) Caprice, Roadmaster or Vista cruiser wagon as a parts car too.

Still need to test the circuit but at present, I am pretty sure the solenoid at the latch has failed. Is there a place I can get a replacement or this one repaired? I am overall very happy with the car and want to keep it. But I need to be able to repair the thing when things break. I tried ordering one on line, but a few days after placing my order, it came back canceled, part no longer available.

Thanks, Ron

(the book shows that either the solenoid by itself or the whole latch unit can be replaced. However, both parts come back as not available, discontinued everywhere I look.)

call your local scrap yards for parts...then you have internet /ebay scrap parts..
