Tailgate Electric lock malfunction

[patrickkc]

So the x5 was in the garage yesterday to have all my goodies installed. Dynavin + JL audio sub/amp. Got a call from the garage telling me that the tailgate electric lock has malfunctioned. They said the tailgate opened, but can't be closed now. I tried looking for this issue, but haven't found something quite as similar as mine. I have noticed recently though, that when I open the tailgate, the 2 interior lights on the tailgate flicker. (like power is not constantly getting to the lights)

I'm being charged $650 to replace the electric lock, was just wondering if this sounds fishy?

Thanks Patrick
