2008 pt cruiser lift gate won't open

Is it the manual latch or the one with a sensor?

Sensor....

I turned mine from a sensor to a manual latch but I did it my self and I had to run a line from the lift gate to the driver side door and it has been working for over a year. The sensor latch was too much money the manual latch cost me around $40 and the wire around $3 labor $0 did it my self but it took me a month to figure out how to make it work..
