I am having an issue with the tailgate (trunk lid) release actuator which I assume is the solenoid or relay that pulls the cable to the two latches to open the trunk lid.
About nine months ago, the actuator started working intermittently. I took my roadster to the Tesla service center for repair. Tesla shows this repair at that time:
Now it is doing the same thing again of operating intermittently. I can take it back to the Tesla service center but is this something I might be able to adjust or otherwise fix myself?
Is this “Actuator Tailgate Release” a common electrical part that I might be able to get and replace? Or is this a fix for Tesla?
Does anyone know what might be the issue? Thanks!
