Hi everyone. I've got a really strange thing going on. I know there are lots of tailgate thread out there and I've trawled the net looking for clues etc to no avail.
I've had intermittent issues with the warning light coming on telling me the tailgate is open. I once concluded that it was because external handle was stuck "open" after someone used it and another time I found I'd shut the tailgate on a rag. Another time I thought I'd fixed with wd40 but no.
The tailgate now thinks it is open when it is not. Untill you turn on the sidelights/headlights. When you do this the whole thing operates as normal. Turn them off and it might be ok for a minute, or a second but ultimately goes bad again. It's a bit of a pain really now as it's more often than not "confused" and I can't just leave sidelights on permanently unless I want a flat battery.
Any ideas?
