[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 456951, member: 24042"] Before you assume it's broken, consider just how many different bits need to be aligned just right for the lock and latch to function properly. While it's certainly possible to have a bad brand new product, I'd start by adjusting it. First step would be to cycle the lock and latch with the tailgate (you don't have a trunk...) open. If it functions properly when open, it is almost certainly a matter of getting the various bits and pieces aligned properly. There are only 17,189 adjustments (slightly less than the number of grounds you have to trace for electrical gremlins) so it shouldn't take long... [/QUOTE]
