The manual work around suggested worked an absolute treat. Our fault with the solenoid actuator is intermittent and i cannot establish why so for the meantime i've installed the manual override and save me having to scramble under the rock and roll bed to release the tailgate - thanks for sharing your experience 🙂
Hey mate, fantastic video, I will definitely be doing this. I need this particularly because I cant open the door from the outside at the moment. I have bought a replacement solenoid but cannot get it to activate at all, opening handle doesnt do it. Any advice? Solenoid is getting power I have checked, thanks heaps
Very good explanations. I have problems opening the door from outside. Used WD 40, Opened up first time then keeps recurring. Now I cannot open it up. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Hmm. Maybe take the panel off and have someone sit inside while you activate the lever from the outside and see whether the operation of the solenoid is smooth. Otherwise check that the door is not bent or installed on an angle. There might be a mechanical jam causing the door to fail since it's just the electronic solenoid opening the door. Let me know how you go with it.
Anybody know a link to an easier to understand turorial. Im not a carpenter, nor austrailan. Just want to be able to open from the inside (not learn new words Like grommet) 😂
Thank you for this!!!
Had no idea of that emergency opening behind the rubber grommet.
Will copy this 👍👍
