M Klasse Tailgate Hall Sensor Problem

Tailgate hall sensor issue on my Mercedes M Klasse build year 2011 Hybrid The tailgate does not open completely and the error memory shows a tailgate hall sensor error Could this be a fault with the tailgate motor or sensor wiring

Sounds like a pain I had a similar issue with my old Volvo though it wasn't a hybrid The electrics in the tailgate were acting up Is the error consistent or does it come and go Maybe check the sensor wiring for any obvious damage before you start throwing parts at it Could save you some cash

Thank you for your response The error is consistently present When you experienced this issue with your Volvo did the error code specifically identify a hall sensor fault or was it a more general error related to the tailgate motor or automatic tailgate system Did you perhaps check the sensor wiring

To be honest I can't remember the exact error code It was a while ago But it definitely pointed towards the tailgate electrics If the error's constant and you suspect the sensor wiring maybe it's best to have a workshop take a look Playing around with electrics can be risky

I appreciate your input I have taken your advice and consulted with a qualified technician The issue was indeed a defective hall sensor connection as initially suspected The sensor wiring was checked The repair costing 95€ has resolved the problem and the tailgate now functions as expected Thank you again for your assistance
