Can the microswitch that says whether the tailgate is open or closed be replaced on its own or is it part of the full latch actuator? I have a constant door open signal from the tailgate stopping the rear window, wiper and heated screen working.
 
If you mean the micro switch in the handle, then yes. I bought one off eBay for mine last year.
 
The connector for the microswitch is on the locking mechanism on the right hand side of the door (when looking at it from the inside). Is that the same one? The door opens and closes ok, just get the door open warning on the dash with the door closed.
 
I had a quick look at the microswitch on mine and wondered how to get that out...its pretty much sandwiched inside the metal actuator casing ...I didn't fathom it ...but there may be a way.
