My tailgate latching mechanism is not working. The latch will not trigger the latch and it is stuck in the up and closed position. Only access is through the deck-lid. Anyone have this problem... Any suggestions... I wonder if Ford sells a repair kit.

BTW - First Post. Nice site guys & gals
 






Welcome to the forum.

Are you sure its not locked? :D
 






Good question. It is not locked. My hunch the lock is the culprit though. I guess I can just pull the inside panel off and play with it tonight.
