Tailgate question

[69GWC]

I have had mine unplugged for atleast a year or more and now it functions just like a normal old tailgate that I can lock with the key.
I dont think the truck even knows it is unplugged as I never haf a light or problem locking the truck.

I knew the day I bought it that the locking tailgate was not for me, now like has been said if it had its own button it would have been fine.

Thanks, I will do this on my next off days.
Another question for you, is the lock the type that is always locked or is it possible to leave it unlocked? Thanks!

No its just locked when you lock it with the key and unlocks with the key just like a normal lock.

I took mine in to the stealership and it was replaced in 30 min. No problems since.
