Welcome to the best Landy forum (in my experience).
What car are you in? The more info you're able to give to the wise ones on here, the better advice you'll get.

You're in the right place.
I'm sure you'll get someone knowledgeable responding to you soon...

Whilst you're awaiting proper advice getting in touch, I was recently made aware that the tailgate locking/unlocking is directly linked to the Driver's door action. In my case, I discovered that whilst central locking worked on the other three doors, it wouldn't operate correctly on either Driver door OR the tailgate. HOWEVER, I COULD unlock both when using the key to lock/unlock driver door...

Which of the tailgate lights don't work?
Check the earth points behind the trim in the left and right rear quarters.
Oh and welcome.

I would have to go look but are they not the rear fog lights?

If it's only the rear fogs, have you checked the fuses and bulbs? Apart from that, wires have been known to break where they flex between the tailgate and the tailgate frame.

Can you hear the actuator whining when you press the boot release button? Springs in them are generally rotten by now
