Key Features

• Exterior tailgate microswitch – controls the tailgate lock mechanism

• Updated wire material – LR071911 supersession includes improved wiring to prevent corrosion-related failure 

• Direct-fit replacement – matches factory mounting points; requires wiring connection

• Essential safety and convenience component – enables keyless tailgate release operation

OE Cross-Reference

Note: For vehicles with a fixed reversing camera, order LR071911 (replaces LR015458 for both applications). For vehicles with a surround camera system, a different assembly (LR071912) may be required .

Vehicle Fitment

Known Issue: Pre-2014 models may experience tailgate switch failure due to wire corrosion. The superseding part (LR071911) includes improved wire material .

⚠️ Important: This switch assembly is for Discovery 4 / LR4 (L319) models. Ensure compatibility with your vehicle's camera configuration – for vehicles without a reversing camera, this is the correct assembly; for vehicles with a fixed camera, confirm the part number before ordering .

Signs of Failure

• Tailgate does not open – exterior switch button does not release the lock

• No response – pressing the switch has no effect

• Intermittent operation – switch works sometimes but not others

• Corroded wiring – visible corrosion or breakage in the harness 

💡 The switch itself is a sealed unit, but the harness wires can corrode and break over time. The updated LR071911 assembly addresses this with improved wire material . Diagnostic tip:

Test the actuator with a multimeter before replacing .

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

This switch assembly is VIN- and camera-configuration-specific. Variations in reversing camera presence (fixed vs. surround) affect fitment . Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. When replacing the switch, you may need to splice the new connector if the connector type differs . Replacement involves removing the tailgate handle assembly; be aware of the "spinning retainer nut" issue common on this model. Check the connector type before installation – a different connector may require splicing .
