Turning off power tailgate

[tacorancher]

So I figured out how to turn off the power tailgate on my info screen and when I do it seems I can manually open the tailgate .. but when I try to close it, I’m pushing against the motor. And if I let go it stays frozen in mid air. This seems off. I thought it would behave as a normal tailgate with the power turned off. What’s going on?

I don't have an answer for this, but I am hoping people make kits to delete the power part of the tailgate, not something I'm at all interested in

I think you need a different truck. Maybe something from the 60's.

Did you try just unplugging it?
Instructions for disconnecting the wires are in your owner's manual, since it's a required step for removing the tailgate entirely when needed.
