RRC tailgate lock

T-C · Aug 6, 2020

I’ve fitted new parts to get the central locking working on my RRC tailgate. However, I am missing the spring that attached to the metal rod. I’ve been unable to get it anywhere.

Currently when I lock the car, the solenoid attempts to lock the tailgate but fails. When I unlock, it then locks the tailgate. Is the missing spring causing this or is the solenoid faulty?

I cannot remember but when I was clearing the garage I found a Classic tailgate solenoid if that's the problem.spooky.

Try re adjusting the actuator slightly, just a few millimetre. also it seem the actuator is out of sync with the other four, if so, move move the actuator manually to synchronise.

Thanks. I tried adjusting it in various positions and it didn’t seem to make any difference. I’ll check again to see if it’s directly out of sequence or just randomly working.

Thanks. If you have got one would you consider selling it?

Yes. Though I was hoping to find one that had the bracket and spring with it. I’ll message you.
