Evening folks.
Can the electric tailgate be opened from the inside but from the back? Not using the drivers door mounted switch or key fob?
If not, can a switch be put into the card and does anyone have experience of what wires to splice into?
TIA

Yes, you can fit a switch and its pretty straight forward. I followed this guide on youtube:

Tailgate switch retrofit

I used some Wago 3 way connectors instead of the push on ones used in the video
Cheers pal but that shows a tailgate without electric opening (lifting). Do we think the same rule applies and the activation will simply send power to the rams?

Ah sorry, jumped the gun a bit!

Could well be the same as I suppose the tailgate switch itself isn't different. There are retrofitting vids for the electric tailgate which would confirm if the switch is changed or not.
