TAILGATE

A tailgate ajar switch is standard equipment in this vehicle. This switch is concealed within and integral to the tailgate latch unit. The switch is a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated by the mechanism internal to the tailgate latch. A pigtail wire harness and connector on the tailgate latch connects the tailgate ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through the tailgate wire harness.

The tailgate ajar switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the latch unit must be replaced.
