Went to my FE this morning and the lift gate will not work. Tried manual/automatic settings; tried pushing button on the lift gate itself; tried connected phone; tried key fob; tried foot under bumper; etc. Lights flash but nothing happens. Suggestions?

sounds like you tried pretty much every option. Did you try opening it from the Access menu?

Update. Went to ā€œValet Modeā€, reset code and now the the lift gate works. Is it possible that the lift gate doesn’t work when ā€œValet Modeā€ is activated?

That's entirely possible. There are cars for which the 'valet' cannot open the trunk (because... why would they need to open a trunk?) This offers drivers a safe place to store items that can't be accessed by the valet. This isn't really a 'trunk' ... just a hatch-back that could easily be reached via the back-seat. But possibly Ford treats it the same as a trunk.

That sounds wrong. You should totally be able to access the cargo area when the car is off. In fact it would be more common to access cargo area when the car is off.

I would not be surprised to find out it doesn't activate while in valet mode. Valet mode locks out a ton of stuff. I haven't seen an actual list of what all it locks out though.
