If it dies in 4 to 5 years . Why not remove it from the truck , take into the house and open it up as gently as you can. To see if you could actually pop in a new battery or solder in a new battery . It might just take a hour to do and actually be pretty easy to do .
And if it doesn’t work out , you were going to throw it away anyway !

Ummm, that’s what I said. [emoji6]

I was shooting for double thread points .

Installed the McGuard tailgate lock. PITA for such a small thing but it still took less than 15 minutes.

Ok , The question is .
Is the tailgate hinge in the picture attached with just the ONE star screw that I see ? Because that’s the second key to removing the tailgate .

The tailgate is removed by aligning a slot to pull it out. You have to remove the lock to remove the tailgate. It is just the one star (unique) screw.

I’m talking about the star screw that’s holding the hinge to the truck body . It is totally exposed above your new lock .
