After my tailgate got hit, the gate ajar light has been staying on and causing a draw. Does anyone know which fuse to pull to turn the light off until I fix the tailgate? Or can I disconnect it at the tailgate? Having to charge my battery now, it wouldn’t start this morning.

Found this, but if I pull the fuse a bunch of other stuff won’t work, so that’s not the best solution.

You've tried the super slam? Open like a door, slam as hard as you can?

And while doing the super slam, apply pressure to the bottom right corner.

That’s the problem after it got hit. It pushed the bottom right corner out which triggered the sensor. I pulled the trim and unplugged the sensor, problem solved. I’ll hook it back up when I replace the gate.

The only fix is a donor tailgate.
