Roll call - truck owners & under warranty $

This past Friday, while my truck was parked in my driveway, off, with key fob in my pocket… the electronic tailgate began opening and closing, all on its own. I watched it open and close about a dozen times or so, roughly every 5-10 minutes. Called the dealer and made an appointment for this morning to bring it in. Then I pulled the fuse in the meantime.


Dealer said the factory tailgate switch was a faulty design, allowing moisture infiltration and then of course corrosion, which leads to a short in the circuit. New (updated design) tailgate switch was installed in less than 20 minutes and I was on my way. $0 cost to me other than time.

Thats wild! Would it do it only unlocked or would override and do it when locked too?
