DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The tailgate can either be opened using switch 388 in the driver's door or with the key in the tailgate. When the tailgate is opened using switch 388, current (+30 circuit) is supplied from fuse 17 via the switch to motor 188.

A spring in motor 188 ensures that it always returns to the locked position. To prevent the motor from recoiling, it is damped by being grounded on both sides.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
1. Check that current is supplied to pin 2 of switch 388.
2. Check fuse 17.
3. Check the connectors, wiring harness and ground connections.
