Why tailgate wont open - 2010 Citroen C-Crosser HDi

Sonds like the lift motor has stopped working.

Check the wiring harness from the tailgate to the body. It may be loose or damaged.

more then likely the linkage to lock cylinder came off. you will need to take it apart. sorry.

check wiring fuse and pos relay from dash switch

you need to replace the tail gate shocks

We have the same problem, remove the panel on inside tailgate and you will find the handle broken, it is made out of pot metal. You need new handle from dealer or salvage yard.

No there is no bypass. The Motor in my tailgate crapped out on me last year partly to do with a rusted out tailgate that let water in! I replaced my tailgate, but in my research found that the only way to get the window down was to remove the inside panels on the tailgate, un screw the cover plate, and then unbolt the motor to allow the window to drop enough to open the tailgate. Once the tailgate is down it will be easier to see the internals and remove the motor. Hope this helps you

there was a problem with these where the boot latch mechanism breaks internally so although the elctrics work the tailgate wont open result tailgate needs broken into best to speak to your local landrover dealer or specialist

Need alittle more info. Is the handle lifting with little to no resistance, but the tailgate wont release, or can you feel the latch release but it is just jamed and won't open?
