What is the Tailgate Locking Assembly all about?

A tonneau cover can be installed to cover your possessions in the truck bed, and a tailgate locking assembly can be used to lock the tailgate closed. Manufacturers may use a manual key-operated lock, power locking tailgate, or no locking device at all. When a tailgate lock is in place, there are mechanical components that firmly latch the tailgate handle. When the tailgate locking assembly is faulty, the tailgate lock cylinder with either not turn, or will turn without changing the lock position. If a power tailgate locking assembly is faulty, pressing the lock or unlock function will not change the lock position either.

Keep in mind:

The tailgate locking assembly can be mechanically operated with a key, opened by pushing a button on the car’s inside, or accessed remotely by an incorporated electronic actuator.

How it's done:

The tailgate is lifted and inside cover is removed for access
The defective tailgate locking assembly is removed
The new tailgate locking assembly is installed
The tailgate inside cover is reinstalled
The rear tailgate is opened and closed to check locking assembly operation

Our recommendation:

Mechanical or key-operated tailgate locks can and should be lubricated every service interval to prevent corrosion and seizing. The lock should last the lifetime of your vehicle if properly lubricated and cleaned. If your liftgate locking assembly is not working as it should, have one of our expert mechanics inspect and repair it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Tailgate Locking Assembly?

Tailgate lock cylinder will not turn
Tailgate lock does not latch in place when the cylinder is locked
Power lock control for the tailgate makes a buzzing sound but doesn’t lock (or unlock) the latch

How important is this service?

As it is not a critical component to your vehicle’s operation, the tailgate locking assembly does not have to be repaired until you are prepared to do it. The contents of your truck box will not be secured until it is fixed.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera V6-3.0L - Turn Signal Switch - Denver, Colorado

Hector went above and beyond the call of duty. He was very efficient, brought the parts, checked out everything. He read through all the schematics to double check to be sure nothing was missed in installation. He was phenomenal in treating me exceptionally as a customer. Hector has an extremely high level of integrity and he got the part installed, made sure it was done right the first time and even though the appointment was evening, he was upbeat and worked hard the entire time. Very detail oriented and definitely went far beyond the extra mile to get the job done as promptly as possible. This type of customer service is getting very rare in this day and age and it was really great to have such a wonderful mechanic work on the vehicle. This was like dealing with a family member who really and truly cares about you as a person and has a very high regard for the work he does and extremely honest wanting to do what it takes to keep the customer happy. And he has another very, very happy customer!!!
