If the ECU thinks the boot is open, it's possible that the release mechanism is disabled. The easiest way forward is likely to be diagnostics.
it maybe needs tailgate door a hard shove latch maybe sticking worth a shot.
Hi
Until ur able to get diagnostics plugged in k See if this may work in the mean time
Push the tailgate and slightly downwards when pressing the lower tailgate button once ! It may take several attempts
How have u programmed ur Land Rover button on the remote plse as I know one of the options is to open the tailgate
When u lock the RRS don’t get a warning sound

The boot opens and closes fine when I manually over- ride the wires. But the boot doesn't open when I press the buttons on the tailgate. I have checked all the wires on the tailgate and they are completely fine. Do you know what the issue may be?

Switch in the button maybe, but the message on the dash suggests otherwise. I do hope you have not blown the ECU playing with the wires.
Hi
Ah i see, I read it wrong , lol
Sounds like the switch, have u used a multimeter to test it out
Seen a test somewhere, will see if I can find it
Hi
U must be a mind reader as I was just thinking the same with the possibly of any feedback
Also sounds like a switch but imagine using a multimeter can test that theory out
Hi
Just quickly another question is I may plse
Is it the lower tailgate switch or glass switch that doesn’t work plse, I’ve got s D3 so know the RRS are different,
Just to establish the fault a bit better
Also have u programmed ur remote to open the tailgate
At least with a code reader it should steer u in the right direction to save u starting to remove panels straight away, but does sound like a switch seeing if u override the motors the boot opens , assume all the fuses , voltages are ok at the tailgate switch

You are forgetting the dash message saying the boot is open.
The boot opens and closes fine when I manually over- ride the wires. But the boot doesn't open when I press the buttons on the tailgate. I have checked all the wires on the tailgate and they are completely fine. I have tried pushing the tailgate in several ways and still no progress
Do you know what the issue may be?

The switch in the latch mechanism that tells the BCU that the boot is closed.

If you press and hold the lock and unlock button on the dash does it release the latch?
If so then it’s the switch that’s faulty in the tailgate

Am I the only one totally confused? The first post is about a wire near the glove box but evryone is talking about the tailgate and no answers re glove box?!?

Hi readers I need some help with my Range Rover 2006 HSE UK RHD
I bought this car initially with the drivers seat and mirror not working due to the sunroof leak which I have now fixed
By fixing these isssues it has now decided to not let me open my tailgat at all. I have tried pushing the tailgate to close but it just stays locked. There is no movement but on the dash it says 'tailgate open' whereas it is closed. I have checked all the looms and they are fine the connectors are fine and I cannot find the issue.
ANYBODY WITH SUGGESTIONS PLEASE POST BECAUSE IM FED UP AS IVE TRIED EVERYTING

I had to edit the post as I didn't know how to make a new oneAm I the only one totally confused? The first post is about a wire near the glove box but evryone is talking about the tailgate and no answers re glove box?!?
There was first a boot problem but now I have found a grey wire dangling

If this is the same wire that caught me out many times.
It comes down behind the CJB behind the glove box & tucks up under the matting.
It goes no where. It's just cut & left.
Hope this helps,
