Failed this morning again, but worked again tonight. Unscrew the latch with the three Torx screws and took out the latch. Twisted apart, but found nothing wrong. Micro switch is working as it should and nothing was broken or torn in the lock. Assembled it back and hung it loosely in the cables. Tried at least 30 times and it worked every time. So now I'm a little confused.... What is the problem??? |

I am no electrician. But as you say (when) it fails you cannot operate the latch from either the tailgate handle or the remote, the only likely faulty item is the latch or the wiring to it. Otherwise, it would be the handle switch OR the remote at fault. Additionally, you have had the horn sound when trying to lock. This also points to there being a faulty latch. As you have already ordered a replacement latch, I suggest you change it and see if the fault disappears or changes. Maybe someone else on here has another idea? 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

No aware of anyone having had to replace a second lock, the first ones were lasting a couple of years before the problem arose, it was a new one you fitted |

Still problems with the tailgate. Think it is the relay that does not work sometimes. Anyone know where I can find it and know what it is for part numbers? |
