How can i stop this message coming up on a 1997 P38. Ive tried slamming it, gently pushing it and greasing the latches.

Its driving me insane.

Remove the carpeted paneland check the connections etc. in the lower tailgate for starters

Thanks

According to the wiring diagrams for the tailgate there are two switches, maybe one is not making. Have a look at the circuit and check switches are working okay. There will be a feedback input to the BECM.

bit of black tape over the read-out in the instrument panel? works wonders for peace of mind!
