Land Rover Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

 
The lower tailgate latches are installed at each end of the lower tailgate. Each latch is operated by a shaft installed 
between the latch and an electric actuator. 
 
The latches are opened by the actuators and slam closed by the strikers on the D pillars. When a valid request to open 
the lower tailgate is received, the CJB (central junction box) momentarily energizes the actuator of each latch. The 
actuating rod on each actuator then extends and turns the shaft to open the latch cam and release the lower tailgate. 
When power is removed from the actuator, springs return the actuating rod and shaft to the retracted position.
