S6 tail gate issue.

[Giller]

Have had issues since I picked up the car. Tried all of the "reset" procedures with no luck. Today I disconnected both connectors on the tailgate control module. Left it for 30 sek and reconnected it. Closed the tailgate manually and now it works fine. View attachment 44542

Going to try the disconnection option, just had a look, the connectors seem pretty solid, are there retaining clips or such I need to press/ pull to release them?

Yes, you can see one of them on the black connector. On the white I think it was on the underside. Be careful not to break them.

Yes, quite obvious on the larger black one
The clip is on the bottom of the small white one

Hi, I have had exactly the same issue with my brand new very nice MGS6 Long Range Trophy. Issue started after about 1 week. It’s at the dealers now awaiting an assessment and hopefully a fix.
