Vectra tailgate hall sensor fault

My 2005 Vauxhall Vectra diesel has a tailgate issue. Error memory shows a hall sensor error, and the tailgate doesn't fully open. Suspect a bad cable or plug. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar issue with my Vectra. Same symptoms: 'Error stored' and 'Tailgate doesn't open'. Did you check the sensor wiring? These hall sensors often fail with age.

Thanks. Which sensor wiring specifically? Where should I focus my inspection?

I mean the wiring and plug directly at the tailgate hall sensor. Mine was a broken wire in the loom where it flexes. I'd suggest a workshop for a proper diagnosis to avoid causing more damage.

Thanks, I took it to a local workshop, and it was a defective connection in the wiring, like you thought. 95€ repair. Problem solved.
