I watched a few YouTube FOB repair videos (older style FOB, though), so I was hopping to put a spacer or some sort, as the contact is probably mechanical, between the rubber pad and the round contact on the circuit board.
Option # 2 is to buy a key FOB without the release button and then have the dealer pair it up with the truck....(still cheaper than the new tailgate)
The only reason I want to accomplish this is the fact that I have 2 friends who have gone through 3 tailgates as they would accidentally hit release button, which would in turn open the tailgate and slam it on one of those concrete posts you see in the parking lots guarding gas meters, water valves, etc, etc
