Tailgate latch wiring

Robti · 23rd February 2021, 16:43

Hi I have 2 spare both cleaned and the one fitted and they all don’t respond to the button press ( which has been sprayed with contact cleaner). So anyone tell me how to test the plug at the latch ?
Thanks

It could be dirty contacts in the plug at the top of the tailgate, or a broken wire where it passes into the main body shell.

That’s why I would like to test the plug at the latch wiring and work back from there but don’t know what a normal one should show on the multimeters
