tailgate jammed

Mar 20, 2006 Last reply: 20 years ago 2 Replies

greetings, was using our 91 f150 to haul some wood to get it recycled. think the tailgate was bent pushing off some of the bigger pieces. went to slam the tailgate stuck and one side latched and the otherside didn't :-(. needless to say the tailgate is jammed shut now. can't close the unlatched side and can't unlatch the latched side. any thoughts? is there a way to unlatch using a screwdriver (hard to see the mechanism). can the tailgate be disassembled while closed?



thx!


There should be a small panel on the inside of the tailgate in the center. Pull it off and you'll see what you need to do.
