300TDT Tailgate problem - 5/10/2008 3:25:18 PM    BVNitta   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/10/2008 Status: offline Hey guys, I recently got hold of an '85 300TDT. Worked great until a couple of days back, I can't seem to unlock the tailgate - and get this: - the square ignition key doens't work on it - that's the only key I have - tailgate has no interior handle - tailgate has no locking 'stalk' It's not the vacuum.. all other locks actuate when I unlock the master.. I do hear an odd cranking noise from the tailgate. Before I rip the tailgate panels off, is there something else I should try ? Thanks in advance, BVNitta Post #: 1
