I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I START MY TRUCK I PUT THE KEYS IN THE INGNTION AND I HAVE TROUBLE STARTING IT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SAFETY LOCK
where do you find the unlock relay switch on a 98 ford explorer
If the tailgate is dropped hard it can toggle the locking mechanism. If you don't have a key to unlock the tailgate, you'll have to remove the plastic side of the tailgate (the inside) and flip the locking lever back to the unlocked position. While you have the cover off you might as well put some drops of oil on all of the metal moving parts inside the tailgate.
The wiring or the locking mechanism may be damaged in your ford explorer. You need to take it to an auto shop to have diagnostic testing done.
replace master switch for door locks
NOT
hit the remote 3times to unlock make sure tailgate or rear door is open then hit switch to operate seat
the tailgate unlocks with the rear doors. Are your rear doors unlocking properly ? is your car battery weak ??
The rear tailgate lock on my taurus wagon will not unlock. How do I open the back panel to get to the mechanism
I had the same problem. I could unlock (dis-arm) from the drivers door until it the switch failed. Then I would use the passanger door until that one failed. Finally i had to take the Jeep to the dealer (or leave it unlcoked all the time) Each door has a dis-arm switch. Even the tailgate has a switch. the dealer replaced the faulty switches in both front doors - all is well. Hope this helps.
If you have a newer model, with the remote unlock built in to the ignition key, press the button that looks like a trunk opening. This will open the tailgate but leave the other doors locked. Otherwise, press the Unlock button TWICE - this will unlock ALL doors, including the tailgate.
Check the trash can's in the gym eventually you should find a switch now there are 2 switches the next switch will be next to the trash can you found the switch in if you check that one you should find the other switch if you picked the wrong can you must start over.
