M5V8 337 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) anyone experienced an issue with a E70 tailgate? Just stopped closing. Push the button, theres a click but no action. Now it's working again. How strange. Edited October 19, 2014 by M5V8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 My 540i had the push button on the boot stick so it was always activated. Kept it unlatched. Unplug that switch and see what happens. You can still use in car switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 Cheers Jason. It's all working normally again now. Bit of research and some others have had this issue when you leave the boot open for extended periods. (i was vaccuming the boot). It's working again now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M5V8 337 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 Nope wasn't that. Even starting the car wouldn't get it to power close. I think there's an issue with heat buildup in the button. Close it allow it to cool and it works again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
