Need Help locating fuse for tailgate window

[2003jeepKJ]

I have a 2003 KJ, I have NO power to the Tailgate window actuator. I've check the fuse panel near the drivers door and found NO blown fuses. I've read that there are other BCM's on the vehicle maybe thats the one that provides power to the tailgate window switch. The FOB key does not work the switch either but it does work the 4 other doors.

What fuse powers that switch?

Where are the fuses located that you're checking? The bcm is on the drivers side of the dash behind the cover. Check the owners manual for the fuse that powers the gate. Pretty sure if a fuse was blown other things wouldn't be working as the fuse does other things as well.

I've been there and checked the only possible fuses per the owners manual. There is NO fuse that is dedicated to the Tailgate/window switch. I've checked my wires back there with a test light and there is NO power.

I don't want to bring it into the dealer, what should I do?

Tailgate issues are common on the Libby.
Using the forum's Search tool I got these hits;

Thank you for commenting. I'm surprised that I haven't had much help on this topic.
I've been searching everywheres, this site, other jeep forums, the internet and google. Nothing to my main topic. Yes, there are a lot of issues with the tailgate but I couldn't find any specific to my concern.

From this schematic it appears there is single line from the BCM to the glass release motor.

I'll check my Liberty to see where the wiring runs. Maybe it will help you find a break in the wire.

As expected, I went to the local junkyard, bought another switch, no luck.
Still no power to switch- Any ideals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to pass this on if someone has the same situation.

Went to the jeep dealer today for a coupon oil change. I had them look at the tailgate/window, they plugged in the scanner and found that there was no problem with the switch. They said if a problem it would show up at the BCM, thats behind the fuse panel on the drivers outside dash, it would be a bad relay attached to the BCM. What they found was a bad switch at the tailgate handle, they didnt have one in stock but it will cost 16.00 dollars.
