Please help.. it’s driving me mad opening the boot lid at the most in opportune moments!
I have tried disabling the keyless access to no avail… it used to work on my 17 plate early platform RRS but not on this one…
Any ideas gratefully received!

Probably needs to be done in the CCF, unless it's got its own fuse. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

It's got it's own connector to the sensor for sure, so disabling should be a single look under the bumper away... Regards etc.,

By simply pulling a fuse or unplugging it, would it not possibly throw up a annoying message when going through the system check, only a though as wouldn't really know, try it and see would be the obvious answer I guess.

If it's doing it randomly it might be a sign of a deeper issue that simply disconnecting the sensor or fuse won't solve. Or if doing so does solve it, then it at least helps to narrow down the problem. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I think it may be Fuse 49, 10 amp fuse in the rear load space fusebox, but wouldn't know if it controls the complete powered tailgate function or just the gesture part, proably the whole thing.

10A seems overkill for a simple sensor. BTW this sensor uses about as much energy as the rain sensor, so I believe there may even be no fuse for it at all.
Pulling the fuse would render the whole tailgate useless, since lifting the tailgate with electric struts disabled is a heavy workout.
Just unplug the sensor and be done with it. Regards etc.,

I think I have succeeded! You can turn off the keyless opening on a post 2018 model with the later platform using the same method..
Open door, sit in car, ignition on and then off, and at the same time depress the headlight button on the key fob rapidly three times then the unlock button.
If the hazards flash you are not doing it quick enough! It took me several times to sort….

But now I am hopeful that the gesture tailgate won’t open as I walk past it .. it’s a total pain in the ****!
