ELECTRIC TAILGATE CONTROL UNIT
The electric tailgate motor consists of an electric
motor assembly (incorporating an electromagnetic
clutch and gears), gears and arms. It is integrated in
the electric tailgate control unit. As the motor runs to
the open or close direction, the gears (No.1, No.2,
and No.3) will rotate in that order, thus turning the
arm.
