Tailgate will not unlock - Posted for another owner

Hi All,

One of my mates with a D3 has had a failure with the tailgate not being able to unlock even though you can here the actuator (or solenoid) working.

The fault sounds similar to the one I experienced where the cable between the actuator and lock has failed.

See my thread post 1 year ago: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic3029.html?highlight=tailgate.

Does anyone know if there is a TSB out on this problem where the problem may be described as "the tailgate will not unlock even though the actuator is still heard working when the button is pressed. Problem is caused by cable failure. To access the lock you must cut the interior tailgate carpeted trim to access the lock to unlock the tailgate to make repairs".

Please let me know if there is a TSB.

Thanks

Chris

I had the same problem with my car 2 months ago, the dealer change the cable and the rear latch assembly, but without the need to cut the interior tailgate trim.

No TSB, but check that the bottom half of the tailgate is fully latched - this can replicate the same symptoms
