Disable Power Liftgate on 2022 CX-5

Is that possible to make it normal manual liftgate? Software/hardware by all means neccesary

You can open and close it all day long manually just by pushing and pulling. It can't be that good for the motors though. Amazon has a variety of "manual" struts at amazon prices. They are real easy to remove.

I don't see why it would work like that. The base model doesn't have motors in the struts. The power struts have a simple plug on each one. You can test it by unplugging them. Plugs should be in the upper corner just under the headliner
