Last week I tried to open my tailgate and it would not do anything including it would not even unlock. I checked the display menu options and it put itself into manual mode. It will not let me select it back to automatic.

The worst right now is that it will not unlock and of course I have a bakflip tonneau cover on it.

After I managed to open the bakflip I removed the access cover off the back of the tailgate and was able to pull the latches manually and open the tailgate. Nothing looks out of placed and no wires chewed or damaged. I checked the 2 fuses under the hood and both were good (and I verified they were good) I am now looking at replacing the control module that is mounted in the tailgate itself to hopefully fix it but of course if I get it from Ford and it does not fix it, I cannot return the part.

I am over the 60K bumper to bumper warranty....of course!!!!

I am just curious if anybody else has had this issue and what the fix was.

Thanks in advance
