Kangoo Tailgate Hall Sensor Error

Has anyone else had issues with the tailgate hall sensor on a 2008 Renault Kangoo diesel? Mine's done about 103000 km, and the tailgate isn't opening fully. I'm getting an error that points to a bad cable or plug in the sensor circuit.

Hey! I had a similar problem with my Opel Astra. It turned out to be faulty sensor wiring. Is the error constantly there, or does it come and go?

The error seems to be constant. I haven't had a chance to really dig into the wiring yet. Is there a common spot where the wiring fails?

Okay, if it's constant, it's probably a broken wire or a bad connection. On my Astra, it was right where the wires go from the body to the tailgate – they bend a lot there. Electrical stuff can be a pain to diagnose. If you're not comfortable with wiring, it might be worth getting it checked out at a shop.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the wiring there, but I think you're right about getting it looked at. Just got back from the workshop, and they confirmed it was a defective cable connection. Cost me 95€ to repair. Thanks again!
