Territory automatic tailgate hall sensor issue

Oh man, that sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Territory. The automatic tailgate can be a real pain. From what you describe, it really does sound like a wiring issue related to the hall sensor. I remember having the same error code stored. Definitely check the connections first before assuming the sensor itself is bad, because the sensors themselves are usually pretty robust.

Thanks for the info! When you say connections, are we talking the plug right at the sensor on the tailgate motor, or should I be tracing wires further back into the car?

Okay, so in my case, it turned out to be a corroded connector right near the tailgate motor assembly. I'd advise checking that first. However, and this is important, I am not saying you should perform repairs yourself if you are not trained. Seriously, you could cause even more damage, or worse, injure yourself. To be honest, I eventually gave up and took it to a reputable workshop to get it sorted out properly. They identified and fixed the faulty wiring quickly.

Appreciate the advice. I poked around a bit, and while I could see the connector, it was awkward to reach. I'll take your advice and book it into the workshop to get looked at, thanks again. They are estimating 95€ to get it fixed.
