Is it the one piece powered tailgate? as I assume you have checked Fuse No. 15 in engine bay fuse box.

My one piece tailgate has stopped powered opening and closing.
The lock switch operates OK (can be heard clicking) but neither the dash or tailgate switches induce operation equally the key fob has no effect.

Any ideas welcome! RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

Probably a strut fail but check the fuse to be sure. Can’t remember which it is (check Cols post above) but it’s called power tail gate so should be easy to spot. 2012 5.0 SC AB

It might be very relevant that the tailgate open/close failure under power happened when I disconnected the battery to sort out my glowplug warning light issue.
I’ve read somewhere that a hard reset might sort it but can someone help and tell me how to do a hard reset. RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

The 2 struts are the powered parts that lift the tail. Did you check the fuse? 2012 5.0 SC AB

Just noticed you say powered opening and closing. The original only power closed from the button, is that what you mean or has it got aftermarket kit fitted which allows closure off the fob? 2012 5.0 SC AB

Hi Brit Plumber, yes the fuse was missing. Now the tailgate works fine.

Must have happened when I did the ECU reset to fix the glow plug warning light issue. I probably popped a fuse that I tested back in the wrong slot.

Problem is that now I’m short of a 15A fuse. Seems JLR are too mean to provide any spares!

Many thanks! RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

Look in the fuse box for a system that you don’t have as the fuse box comes with all fuses fitted regardless of options. Things like RSE, cruise, fridge etc. That you may not have serve as emergency spares.

At least the fix isn’t a pair of new struts lol👍 2012 5.0 SC AB
