With the handle mechanism removed the release cable is now freed up but the latch is still inoperable and the tailgate will not open. I'm sure the microswitch is still working as I can hear it click on/off as I activate the locks.
Does anyone know if the latch can be opened manually from inside the vehicle. It's a 2004 model
Thanks
