Correct. I checked the outer cable to look for any damage and none evident but you've advised to under the outer cable and check the individual cables which I will do at the weekend. I have removed the cover panels and I have replaced all the working components without success. When I unclip the lead and then reclip the lead I can hear a motor power up. So you are sugestsing that if one lead is fractured that may be the issue. So on Sunday I will uncoil the cover and check every single lead in the hoping of find the fault 🙂

Hi Gareth Sorry for the confusion. At the weekend I anted to peel back the cover as you have suggested and check thoroughly.

Ill give it a closer inspection over the weekend as it is baffling as to why it won't disengage.

Thanks for the reply Gareth It looks visibly sound but how can I confirm it is working ?

Hi all hope someone knows the answer ? The automatic tailgate on my 2015 Audi stopped opening. The door button the boot button and the key fob would not open it. i took the trim off and changed the actuator which I bought on eBay so a copy part. No luck. I changed the lock mechanism and the boot handle. No luck with any of them. The strange thing is if I push the white leaver over by hand and disengage the lock them the fob and boot handle open the boot as normal. In desperation I bought an official Audi actuator and still no joy. All the wires look intact and when I disconnect and reconnect the one lead that goes into it I can hear a motor engage.
