Will be either a door lock motor assembly (the four doors); which has door switch built in, grounds the purple & white wire, or the hood switch, or the tail gate switch. You can test for the grounds or disconnect the following to test by area:
Connector C0428 on the CCU - pin 21 (the four doors), pin 22 (hood), pin 23 (tail door). Automotive door switch are normally open when door is closed and close or short to ground when door is open.
obviously a problem with the auto mechanism , is there a sensor located , see your owners manual, in a particular area that has to bee kept clear and you may have inadvertantly placed something over the sensor , just guess as something must be telling the tailgate to shut , with the age of vehicle is it still covered under makers warrenty ? i'll look into the sensor thing
is this a RKE FOB only statement, and no keys tried?
all buttons tried? in car and the fob button?
Usually there are 3 ways, at least. Fob, real key and door switches.
the driver on some cars have a button to open all locks in car.
all ways, tired, inside and outside.?
id remove the inside tail gate, panel.
the lever to the lock is there. move the lock by hand iniside, i bet it opens now.
on most cars there is a child lock feature, its covered in the operators guide the fact there. read that. first.
wits end.?
id remove the inside tail gate, panel.
the lever to the lock is there. move the lock by hand inside, i bet it opens now.
Have you tried using the key at the tail gate, ,open with the key then move then push the locking mechanism open with a screwdriver the latch close while the door/gate was open, push it back open use some force. Hope this help if is a mechanical issue and not electrical it doesn't matter .
more likely than not the latch has closed some how if you have some one hold the the handle to open the tailgate you can open the latch by hand with a screw driver if your not sure what it should look like look at another door latch in the open position very simple to do and you cant hurt anything doing it this way
I have a similar problem, my tailgate stopped working with the outside handle and the remote but can be opened manually from the inside. I don't have an alarm so there is no problem with that but did you get a solution for the tailgate problem that I could try?
