Rear glass tailgate fault

Hi all,

My upper tail gate has started playing up. Open the car and tail gate clicks open, Close then 2 secs later pops open again. Close again and then clicks open....... Sometimes opens straight away other times after 5 or so secs. I can here the locking mechanism clicking on then off. Is it just the sensor or what else should I be looking for, thanks. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Part number you need is YUZ500020

Takes 30 seconds to fit. Lever the old switch out (doesn't matter if it breaks) follow the wiring back to the connector, unplug and replace Thumbs Up

It is the release handle under number plate shroud,behind rubber cover. The alloy hinge type thing that pushes the micro switch gets corroded and sticks. If you clean this part and give it a good dose of WD40 it will be fine. I did mine 2 years ago and it is still fine. Otther option is a new complete switch about £25/£30 and easy t do. itisme
