Town & country liftgate doesn't work (easy fix)

Googled "chain #25" and discovered electric scooters used that chain, order 3 feet to replace the whole chain and make sure you buy the heavy duty chain and a couple of master links (and 1/2 and 1 1/2 links as a just in case).
The number on the bag the chain came in is CHN-HD2548.
The master kink is CHN-HD25ML.
The half link is CHN-HL.
The link and a half is CHN-25LHL.
Or you can go to your local junkyard and remove it from another car just like I did 😉

    You don't have to take the tensioner pulley apart. Just loosen up the t20 at the top, then rotate the tensioner using a t40 to loosen it up. Put the chain on then align the green marks. If one direction doesn't allow the marks to line up go the other way.

    DIY EZ By Cervantes Garage's Muchas gracias por la dedicación y por compartirlo. Me sirvió mucho. Segui paso a paso tus instrucciones y resulto de maravilla, lo único diferente que hice fue acudir a un taller de motos y ahí de una cadena #25 rota tomaron un eslabon y lo pusieron en la mia. Ellos lo colocaron remachándolo y quedo perfecta. La cadena del que lo tomaron según me dijeron fue de una cadena de la bomba de aceite de una moto grande, después la rocie con grasa de litio en aerosol y listo. Nuevamente muchísimas gracias.

    I just fixed the chain on my lift gate (bought a single link rather than a whole chain). The door will open when you push the button, but then does the double click like it hit something and you have to close it manually. Any ideas?

    The traditional way, grab the handle under the lip of the liftgate and squeeze with your hand and then lift up. I'm guessing you have never had a vehicle without power lift assist of any kind in your life?
