Hey All!
In going down the proverbial rabbit hole with the tailgate I pulled out the regulator to clean/lube and the tailgate switch because it didn't work.
In lubing up the regulator, has anyone ever used SLIP Plate (graphite spray) on the geared pieces? I think the rollers should still get some lithium grease..or has anyone used ceramic brake grease?
On the switch, I found out why it wasn't working- one of he contacts snapped off. In looking for a new piece I see they want $100 for it, to which I would rather not pay!
I'm guessing I could solder the connection back? Maybe epoxy it in as well for holding power? Anyone know the best way to repair this?
THANKS!!
