I'm almost embarrassed to have to ask but stuck getting the tailgate remote control to install correctly. TSM is not help. It just says install the remote control
The remote was cleaned, all pivot points oiled and operating smoothly. I've spent hours over days trying to get it installed and operating correctly but have failed.
With it installed and the passenger side outer arm firmly mounted, it works flawless. Very light pull on the handle and it releases beautifully. When the driver outer arm is also firmly mounted. Neither will release and it starts to bind or the movement of both is not sufficient to release the latches.
I've tried adjusting both arms every way I can, step by step in tiny increments on both sides. Still no luck. Closest I've gotten is a relatively light pull on handle and both sides lift the arms but not quite to the point of releasing the latch.
Any tips or tricks to get it right? I've gone back and looked at mounting location of screws for both outer arms in pictures before I tore it apart. For the most part, they are centered in the in the mounting holes. I've tried that position, and every variation I can think of, and still not able to get it there.
TIA.
