Land Rover Discovery 3 Tailgate will not open

[@reubenwoolnough7762]

Excellent video, thank you. My Disco had the same problem. When I inspected the switch, the actual tiny red button still works fine when touched. The problem was with the hinged flap: this has a raised bulge on it, which is supposed to press on the little red switch. The bulge seems to have worn enough so that it no longer presses the switch. Temporary fix: superglue a strip of rubber band across to ensure the bulge presses against the red switch. Hopefully it will hold until a replacement switch unit arrives. Thanks again.

Mine has same problem, not opening the tailgate. Will try the same process. Thank you so much

It's not a bad job. Just a bit of a fiddle attaching the wires. Hope the process works for you. Good luck.

In my case one of the wires had corroded through. I only noticed it when it broke. Once I rewired all good.
