tailgate keeps unlatching itself

so the bastard keeps doing that Laughing it did seem to ice then this happened. it does it fairly randomly when the car is unlocked.

also my rear heated screen isn't working but am guessing thats due to the connector in the spoiler being Censored . would the tailgate unlatching be related?

there was also a time when the tailgate switch didnt work, so could it just be a "stuck" switch?

cheers

So I would program the 3rd LR remote button to do the tail gate

Hold the LR button and then press the tailgate button. (it only does that for 1 key)
Check it works.

Then disconnect the taigate switch in the tailgate, to eliminate
See if it keeps happening

Is it the glass opening or bottom bit ?

Glass switches are trouble some and can easily be unplugged
