Jimny’s tailgate opener is broken and won’t open. So I try to replace it to a new one. I think JA11, JA12, JA22 may be the same.

The replacement pars are below.

First, remove the door lining. It is fixed with plastic screws like this and loosen them, but I didn’t understand it well, so I pulled it out…

Removing the vinyl cover.

This is what it looks like inside. And I tried various things, but I couldn’t open it.

Let’s remove the doorknob. There are two nuts and loose them.

Then unfortunately, I dropped the nut into the gap…

Remove the inset joint.

Rescue of the nut successful! Magnets are great!

The handle were removed successfully.

Comparing with the new one. On the left side looks that part is broken. Originally it should be like the new one, that’s why can not be opened.

After Installation, I tried to open it but didn’t work. I got impatient but It was just locked, that’s all. It worked!

Anyway, it’s really nice that the door opens NORMALLY.
