Tailgate issue

[Thompsy2]

Hi, I have just purchased a T5 and it has a T6 tailgate already on it.
It has a separate fob to operate the tailgate, however it is working on and off.

I have tried to find the fault, it doesn’t look like the fob has the power to pull the latch up? And that part is coming out of the latch that should pull it up ? If that makes sense?

I am a newbie here, so please be patient and kind. Just looking for a sensible solution, so we can open the tailgate without having to manually pull up from the inside?

Are there any other people here that have done T5 to T6 tailgate conversion please?

Mine has just become intermittent, I.e. I press unlock on the fob, but the tailgate doesn’t unlock (no click noise). Try several times, do lock/unlock, then it works. Dunno if I’m being dull or if the lock mechanism or electrics are at fault. Doors unlock fine. Interested in peoples’ views.
