2012 RRS (1piece tailgate) - Boot sticking ?

Any one else have this problem ? seems to happen more when the car is in the sun .

I press the boot release on the key and it pops it up a little then stops.. I press the key again and then it opens.

This doesnt happen all the time, and for some strange reason the button on the dash seems to pop it ok ? ( or it has every time i did it via that instead of the key)

Cant see whats stopping it from popping ! and why its only happening randomly.

What switch are we talking about Col ?

Dashboard switch ? or the handle switch on the outside ? or another one ?

Thanks for the info.

I don’t mean to teach you to suck eggs but you haven’t accidentally set the boot opening limit to that position have you? 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Thanks for that , Will try that also .

Seems weird how it doesnt always do it and i think it always works correctly from the button on the dash ?

Also i didnt mention i also have the tailgate mod

Agh, the tail gate mod, I have it too and mine does the same thing if I press the button twice by accident. I know the moment I’ve done it, usually when (out of bad habit) I’ve been impatient. Probably something to do with the timer and switch relay in the MOD box. Never does it on the cabin switch as it’s a more positive switch for me. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Sure mine was doing it before fitting similar mod, must be a least 3 years since that was fitted but yours's may be a different problem to the one I had, but as I say a new tailgate switch cured my issue.

A new improved version of the mod came out last year Col, I assume yours needed some wiring in? The guy who makes them told me he had refined it from the original wired in version to the plug and play version in 2018 (I am, maybe incorrectly assuming the OP purchased his recently).

It may worth removing the mod to see if the fault disappears. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I haven't got the fault anymore and the mod never caused it because it was there before the mod was fitted in 2016, my kit came from a forum member who made them (the_big_1) and has been faultless, as I say I replaced the tailgate switch by the number plate lamps not the button in the bottom of the tailgate and it cured my issue, although I think L/R may have revised their original switch.

Yeah that’s the first version, the new version is plug and play so it may be the new version which has a timing issue, not a fault, just something that happens if you accidentally (whether you know it or not) press the unlock button twice. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Ok i did do the reset last night ( after it failed to open )

I opened the boot this morning and its fine with the key

I will check tonight on the way home , Im pretty sure this happened a few times before i even fitted the mod !

Will check to see if this has fixed the issue and update.
