Astra Tailgate Not Opening Fully

I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. The power tailgate wouldn't open right, and an error code popped up. I fiddled with the wiring like you, but nothing obvious. Did you check the sensor itself? It might just be faulty.

Thanks. I haven't checked the sensor itself, just the wiring. How did you check the sensor in your Megane? What should I look for, and what tools would I need?

To be honest, I didn't get far. I was worried about messing things up, so I took it to a local shop. They fixed it fast and said it was a faulty hall sensor connection. Getting it checked professionally is probably best. Could save a headache.

Appreciate the advice. I took it to my mechanic, and it was a bad cable connection, like I thought. Repair was 95€. Thanks for sharing your experience; it helped me get it sorted.
