Can I ask if you here a "click before it opens or if the car has been in an accident? The truck latch is controlled by the BCM (body control module). here is the truck system wiring for both power and non-power lift units so you can see how the system works. If you hear i click lets run a CAN scan to confirm the BCM failure.
i was hearing a click. the problem seems to have gone away! after i slammed the lid hard. i do not have a can scanner. thanks, Dan.
