Land Rover Part Number: LR040338 - Tailgate Switch
LR040338 is a tailgate switch fitted to the rear luggage compartment. It forms part of the luggage compartment tailgate lock controls and provides the electronic input to the tailgate latch control circuit; when actuated it signals the latch to release or to lock, supporting remote, keyless or powered tailgate operation. Replacing a faulty unit restores the correct switch input and helps return normal tailgate release and locking sequences.
