First part of this video is about changing latch and second half is about changing actuator and tying bike wire as failsafe opening lever.
My upper tailgate latch was opening itself due to worn out loose latch. I changed the latch (AUD40) but it only resolved half of my problem. Occasionally my rear tailgate switch would not trigger the actuator to open up fully, when I pressed the switch I could hear faint click sound but it would not open the tailgate. I was pretty sure it was the old actuator not pulling the latch wire far enough, so I decided to replace the actuator component (AUD20) from Ford fiesta (reference youtube channel ‘powefulukltd’). Now its working perfect!!
Also, while I had it all opened, I decided to tie a bicycle brake wire (AUD2) to the actuator in case the latch fails in future. I have seen lot of online posts on tailgate lock not working and people having to tear apart lower tailgate inner lining to get to the latch. This $2 fix will at least let me open the gate without much of a hassle.
