DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The tailgate can be opened either by means of switch 388 on the driver's door or by using the key.

When the tailgate is opened by means of switch 388, motor 188 is supplied with current (+30 circuit) from the switch via fuse 25.

A spring in motor 188 ensures that it always returns to the locked position.

To avoid bouncing of the motor on its return, it is braked by both sides of it being connected to ground.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
1. Check that current is supplied to pin 2 of switch 388.
2. Check that current is supplied to pin 2 of the motor when switch 388 is pressed.
3. Check the connectors, wiring harness and ground connections.
