How to open and repair an inoperative Ford EcoSport Tailgate lock

In this video I shall be diagnosing and repairing a tailgate which will not open on a 2015 Ford EcoSport. The fault is caused by a weak operating solenoid, in this video I show how to test the feed and ground to the solenoid to confirm the fault. I don&show how to remove the tailgate trim but its simply 2 screws and a sharp pull to remove, I aim to make a video of this once i see this fault again. Since making this video Ford have released a repair solenoid so you dont have to replace the whole lock.(part number below). This concern is starting to become a common fault and Ford have now released the solenoid as a separate item (after the filming of this video) Finis code - 2169845 SY Diagnostics is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk By purchasing an item via one of these links, SY Diagnostics earns a small commission fee from any sale, this fee contributes towards SY Diagnostics purchasing tools and equipment to help keep making videos.
