Tailgate Fully Open Proximity Switch; Arms Partially Raised Proximity Switch - Wittke STARLIGHT Maintenance Manual

The proximity switch should detect the cylinder when the tailgate is locked and should not detect
it when the tailgate is unlocked.

Tailgate Fully Open Proximity Switch

The Tailgate Fully Open proximity switch allows you to enable the ejection cycle when the tailgate is
fully open. This is possible because this proximity switch bypasses the Packer Fully Extended
proximity switch that limits packer travel to the fully extended position, allowing the packer to
complete a full eject sweep.
Location
The Tailgate Fully Open proximity switch is located on the street side, next to the tailgate hinge.
