Tailgate Release Actuator

There is no manual unlock cable or lever for the tailgate release mechanism. The only method for opening of the tailgate is through the electrical activation of the release motor.

The tailgate release actuator has only two positions Trunk closed or trunk open. Upon receiving a tailgate open request, either from the tailgate release button, or the remote key the BC1 activates the motor. The motor is powered in one direction and sprung in the other direction.
