GANDY Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 JUST BOUGHT A 1999 4.6 VOGUE. ALL IS FINE EXCEPT THE TAILGATE WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT OPEN. I'VE REPLACED FUSE 15 INCASE OF HAIRLINE CRACKS AND HAVE FITTED A NEW TAILGATE PUSH SWITCH. WHEN DRIVING, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL OCCASIONALLY CLOSE. THEY WILL OPEN FROM WITHIN OR VIA THE KEY FOB BUT AT THIS TIME THE TAILGATE REMAINS LOCKED. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE TAILGATE WILL OPERATE NORMALLY AGAIN.

steve_d Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The locking or unlocking can often be related to a short somewhere. Most common location will be where the wires come across from the drivers door to the door frame. Tailgate is more likely to be a stiff mechanism or lazy actuator. A good session with the oil can should be your start point. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just a word about 'netiquette' Gandy, if I may. Capitals or upper case type is considered as shouting on forums. Please check your caps lock is off for a nicer posting. Much cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
