I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. The tailgate became stuck about 6 months ago. The latch would open the right side, but not the left side. My father who is a mechanic was able to get it to come open after several hours of playing and frustration. It apparently took a delicate balancing act because something in the left mechanism was worn. The tailgate was working again until it was closed under pressure. Now it is doing the same thing. I need to replace a tail light; therefore, I need to get the tailgate down. I would like to replace the mechanism while I have the tailgate down. Is there an easy or less complicated way to get the mechanism to automatically release on one side? Thanks!
