Hey guys, ive got an NM35 Stagea, and randomly the electronic boot latching mech decides not to work.

i pulled the fuse and it started working again... 2 days later, it stopped working again.

any ideas or tips to what could be causing this?

only happened since the tow bar was installed... but they shouldnt have touched any wiring to do with the latch....

anyone had this issue before?

i had one that stopped working. it required a motor replacement.

if you get stuck,inside the tailgate there is a small access panel. remove the cover and flick the switch up to unlockthe tailgate. its the manual catch.

if it turns out you need a new tailgate motor i have 2 working ones

Don't make this information public to backpackers; or my entertainment is over.

Mind you once the cable ties are on; they aren't very dextrous.

yeah i know about the release, which would come in handy if i could actually shut my dam boot!

i know these cars have super sensitive electrics, but a simple splice in the harness for the trailer harness could not have an affect on the boot latch could it.

they would be different circuits....

Joel, M35 electrics are like the mob - everything's connected, lol. I'd be a bit suss about the towbar wiring. I don't believe in coincidences, so if the problem only started since that was installed then.....maybe.

The only time my tailgate wouldn't stay closed (would shut then open again) was when my battery was going flat. But then I also had weird stuff happening to dash lights, so if you don't have any other symptons I have to go with suggestion number 1 above.

Good luck.

PS Dale Milat, the Fed's will go easy on you if you save them the time searching & lead them to the shallow graves.

Fair dinkum; you murder one backpacker, and everyone rolls out the Milat jokes...

Went for a walk in Belanglo with a young German girl the other day, "Gee it's scary out here at night" she says, I replied; "You think it's scary, I have to walk out by myself"...

Back on topic;

I'm with Leon though; you're at the right end of the car, wouldn't do any harm to get it back to them for a look.

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
