    Has anyone had problems with there tailgate latch. I visited my mom a while back and for some reason she locked my tailgate , and now I can not open it. My keys will not work. There was a TSB for this on the 07, but nothing going fwd. Was just wondering if anyone has dealt with this. :mad:

    Try opening the panel on the inside of tailgate. You might be able to get it open from there and access the locking mechanism.

    It's the craziest thing Bprose, I went back out to start removing tailgate liner, and tried unlocking it again and bam it unlocked. Thanks for your suggestion.

    I might open it up anyway and grease the mechanism up.
    Glad it's working again
