  Q: How to replace the tailgate handle on GMC Envoy?

  A: To replace the Tailgate Handle, first you will need to throw open the endgate and remove the trim panel on the endgate. Next, remove the rear Body Control Module and the inner panel reinforcement. Remove the electrical connector from the endgate handles, remove the screws holding the handles to the license plate pocket, and remove the handles out of the endgate. For installation, begin by reinstalling the handles back in the endgate by observing the fastener notice in service precautions. Screw the handles into the license plate pocket making sure that they are tight at 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). Reconnect the electrical connector to the endgate handles, install the inner panel reinforcement and the rear Body Control Module, and finally the trim panel to the endgate should be reinstalled.
