Hello all, This is my first post on this forum. I have a new to me 2010 Limited. It just started not keeping the tailgate latched. It closes, pulls it in, then releases. It will not stay pulled in and latched. I have sprayed lube on the latch from the outside, also removed inner panel and tried to spray into what I can. Don't know how to spray in deeper and was wondering if anyone had any pics/videos/advice. It is not fun since it is not secure without it latched, and when driving if I hit a bump, it opens just enough to make warning light and bell go off. Any help?
Not sure if it is even anything to do with corrosion/dirt, maybe a sensor of sorts, it pulls in just fine, sounds like all is well, then just releases.
TIA
