Replaced upper tailgate handle.... |
|
And having checked the cable, that looks fine, but the tailgate release still doesn't work!
Is there another possible reason why it's not playing ball?
Fanks in advance

Tailgate release cable replaced, but the boot will not open now. Actuator is firing, but obviously there is something amiss with the cable release.
Releasing from the dash doesn't work either. Can anyone help please? Right now, we can't open the tailgate and are genuinely stumped.

Relatively common for the actuator to lose its umph and become weak.
Can you open the tailgate by manually pulling the cable? Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control

Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.

We've just replaced the upper tailgate handle assembly and the lower tailgate cable assembly.
The boot release won't work, so I'm guessing that the only way to have a look is to climb in through the back seats and remove the trim? Is there anything else which can cause this problem?
Thought we had covered everything!

For fear of repeating myself I'll ask the same question again:
