I installed a replacement pair of correct aftermarket gas struts on the off chance they were the cause of the tailgate problem.
At present I have to open it manually and close it manually. Like a manual boot hatch. But I want the auto. It is such a great feature.
As it stands the interior switch and fob and open and close switches on the tailgate all work.
When I pull the interior switch the latch opens and I hear the motor running as if the tailgate was opening but is doesn't open unassisted. Having opened the tailgate manually to the top and if I I push the interior switch I hear the motor running but again the tailgate doesn't budge. When I press open on the key fob the lock unlatches but nothing more. When I pull the open switch on the tailgate it unlatches but no movement up. Then I open it manually and press the close button on the tailgate and it bongs twice as it should but no movement down.
So the switches work but there is no movement. I will get it into my indie as soon as possible.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you for looking,
D.
