Gaz03 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 :( Recently my tailgate has started to open on the central locking by itself and the unlock button on the control panel no longer works. I could be sat waiting at lights and the lock will operate and unlock the boot? This can happen at any time it's not consistent. Any ideas what may be causing it please?

ppeter7 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It could be the micro-switch in the boot handle as there always a problem.If you loook where no plate lights are theres a little rubber strip which you press to open inside that is a micro switch. To dissable it you have to take off the tailgate trimwhich have 4x 20 torq screws ,then take off the no plate lamp surround which are 4x 10m nuts.Disconnect the wires from lamps and then the micro switch itself. Or try just disconnecting the micro switch to see if it happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
