I went to open the tailgate today. I had it locked and it won't unlock with the key. Anyone else ever have this problem? Gets old lifting full cans of gas over the tailgate when you're a senior....LOL! Can't seem to see how to get around it.
well, I fiddled with it all day yesterday and finally it just opened. I'll take to cover off the inside of the tailgate and take a look and see what's up.
Took cover off, shot some Rem Oil around the mechanism and it works like new! Easy except I effed up all the little black pus plugs that hold the cover to the tailgate and I bought some generic ones at an auto parts store.....they don't work well. Guess I'll have to see if I can get OEM Ford ones so it will be right. Hopefully on Ebay.
