You have to work with the electric parts. Disconnect the battery, the negative terminal ! When disconnecting the battery the alarm and radio will be reset, be sure to have any codes that's needed!

9, Liftgate switch:

From my earlier measurement I saw that the switch in the tailgate show strange values. Now it's time to investigate that problem. This part is a bit complicated to take apart, but have done most of earlier when the liftgate's lock mail function.

Panel:

First must the panel be removed on the liftgate. Under a lid there is a Torx screw to remove.

Lock bracket:

The black bracket must be removed, four ten mm nuts.

There are also three Torx screws to remove.

The middle Torx screw is hidden under the cable, move it aside.

Be careful to not damaged the black cable. Disconnect the blue and black connector to the right.

It's a bit tricky to get it out from the tailgate. Here how it looks like when removed.

Second lock bracket:

Next bracket to removed is also hold by Torx screws.

The two other Torx screws at the handle.

They can be very tight, I used this tool to removed them.

Tailgate switch:

The bottom part is the vacuum/pressure remote unlock/lock device. The arrow points where the switch is located, still not possible to see.

Disconnect the black cable, push the lock hook to get it free. I let the vacuum hose still to be connected, too easy to brake the plastic part.

The arm at the arrow must be unlocked, fragile parts !

Gently bend the lock away and move the axis out.

Two more Torx screws to remove. It's easier to move out the lock mechanism if the handle is pushed in.

To be sure that it isn't a cable that is short cut I measure the switch, the problem is here, the switch is always on. I think I can use the remote now to lock the car, it's only that the tailgate is sense.

Can the switch be replaced ?

Here inside the lock's enclosure sits the switch. The enclosure can not easy be opened, it's riveted together.

I could removed the switch's lock plate without destroying it.

But the space is too narrow to let it out.

With a bit force I got it out, of course now I destroyed it. But doesn't matter because it's broken anyway.

It looks to be a normal micro switch where they have mold some plastic around the incoming cables.

Normally you buy a new complete lock mechanism when you repair this mail function switch, but try to find this spare part for a 20 years old car. Here is the part number: A193 750 01 85

This little bracket hold the micro switch in place. I can 3D-print a new one that fit the new micro switch when I find someone that I can use.
