Driven Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Arg...I keep getting a message "Tailgate Open" when it is firmly shut. A search of the 1998 and prior board hinted at the tailgate Microswitch. Where do I find this?Also, the license plate lights have stopped working, so cannot pass my state inspection. The bulbs are fine, but there does seem to be any power to them.Could be related, since they are both located in the tailgate?Thanks all!Driven.

Guest Guest_Driven_* Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 The tailgate harness breaks at the left hinge, remove the covering and pull on the wires (not like a animal) Yup. The wiring harness was the culprit. Found three separate wires that were severed. Spliced and we were back in running order with the tailgate and the license plate lights.Thanks for the direction!Driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
