Turns out, mine is all electric, but my bumper sensors wouldn’t allow the button to unlatch the tailgate. I was hooked to my 5th wheel. Made the turn to get away from the trailer to unlock to disconnect. Long afternoon.Then oil the inner workings along with the latches to either side. Mine hung up a couple months back just like that. Once I got it open I lubed everything and it works fine now.
Some of those tailgates have an open recall on them something you might check.Hauling my 5 th wheel home. Get it parked, ready to take off the hitch, dang tailgate will not cooperate. I’m stuck to a RV. Any ideas how to open ?
I have a sawsall.
