#13 of 32 Re: Tailgate problems [95jgc] by wheaties Dec 30, 2007 (2:00 pm)
Replying to: 95jgc (Apr 28, 2007 3:00 pm) Yes, I too did not find it "easy" but I did eventually get it (after donating some blood to my car). I lubed everything up that I could get to. I think the biggest problem is that stupid metal clip and the rod that it is supposed to hold on to. Mine had come off all together. So as I reassembled everything I put the rod in place and safety wired the snot out of it so it can not pop off again.   Side note: I read somewhere about removing the nuts underneath that hold on the striker to open the door. That did not work at all, there was not enough room for the studs to come up through the holes. Then I had to readjust it so the door would not rattle.
#14 of 32 Rear tailgate selinoid by 99limited Jan 13, 2008 (11:11 am)
The electric solenoid for the lock in the tailgate just ratchets instead of unlocking the hatch or window. Has any body had to replace this item and are they readly available in salvage yards Replies to this message: mserot89sisa (Jan 15, 2008 8:01 pm) dixiecrawler (Jan 26, 2008 3:12 pm) 99limited (Jan 28, 2008 4:48 pm) 99limited (Feb 03, 2008 2:21 pm) larball (Mar 25, 2008 12:10 pm)

Replying to: 99limited (Jan 13, 2008 11:11 am) Are you talking about the button that open the tailgate? If so I had the same problem, one day while cleaning my car I just decided to take some screws out and check it out for myself. It turned out to be that the button just popped out of place inside so I just put it back into place. Now when i press the button it actually opens the window, seems like you might be talking about something else though

Replying to: dixiecrawler (Jan 26, 2008 3:12 pm) Could you pass on to me the solution you had in mind. This has become a real pain

I just posted this as a new topic. Guess I should have searched a little before hand. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 31, 2008 8:45 pm)
