E70 X5 tailgate replacement

[gstsaver]

Hi,

Anyone have any instructions of removing tailgate on x5 e70 2011?

I was just going to old school figure it out by trial and error but if anyone has done it and has tips I would love to hear from you.

No comments? I did get it replaced but now it won't close. The button to close it at the back doesn't light up and when I press it, it opens further but doesn't close.
Tried resetting by unplugging battery etc but no luck.

Anyone able to help??

Have you checked the tailgate module in the lower rear right wheel well? Those have been known to be effected by water leaks. If the tailgate was working before the swap, I’d say there is a bad connection somewhere after the refit. I don’t know off hand if there is a relearn procedure for the open /close limits of the tailgate, but maybe try YouTube. Good luck with it getting sorted.
