My Tailgate closer has not worked since i had the car . It closed and sealed well so not an urgent problem But as I am remedying the Rust in the area i thought i would see what is wrong with it so the story so far
Removed all trim
Meter the leads and I get 12v accross the large connector that goes in and this is 12V all the Time
I get 2.8V accross the smaller connector so what is going on here ?
Can I deduce already that the motor is seized ?
here are some piccies of the Unit
the wires all seem to go to an area where the part they attach to is loosish is it some kind of sensor / microswitch ???(see arrow in first piccie )
I also discovered a wire and terminal in the tailgate on the RHS which isnt connected anywhere anyone any ideas where this should go to ? see ??? text on second Picture
