#23 of 24 Audi Allroad Tailgate 2005 (old model) by angus5 Nov 10, 2008 (11:05 am)
The warning display shows that the tailgate is open when it is securely shut. The central locking does not work on the tailgate and the red light in the lid and trunk light do not work when open. I assume there is a sensor/switch which is mal functioning-its happened before but sorts itself out by opening and slamming shut the tailgate. This time no joy! Does anyone know where the sensor/switch is located as I can't see any around the rim of the tailgate or under the stainless plate where the catch is. Or indeed what the problem might be. Also the LED alarm light doesn't flash when the car is locked (but the trunk isn't) Any comments would be appreciated. The Audi dealers in UK charge $190 an hour!!!

Replying to: angus5 (Nov 10, 2008 11:05 am) Have you had any luck with finding a solution? I have a 2005 Avant and this tailgate problem started yesterday. Like you I've looked around for sensors etc, but have found nothing. The only thing different is the car was washed on the friday, so maybe something got wet that shouldn't have?
