Purpose and function in the vehicle

The Tailgate Open Switch BMW i3 I01 Bootlid Tailgate Boat Eyelid Push Button is responsible for initiating the electrical signal to the tailgate lock control module. The component is mounted in the rear area of the body, in the immediate vicinity of the tailgate, which allows for intuitive vehicle operation from the outside.

In practice, this means that when the button is pressed, the microswitch sends an impulse to the control system, which releases the lock latch and allows the tailgate to be opened. A properly functioning microswitch is crucial for:

• trouble-free access to the luggage compartment,
• maintaining the comfort of using the rear part of the vehicle,
• consistent cooperation with the BMW i3 I01 body electronics.

Benefits of using an original BMW solution

The offered microswitch button comes from a group of components dedicated to the BMW tailgate, which translates into a proper fit for the body structure and electrical harness. Using a component that complies with the factory specification allows for maintaining:

• correct cooperation with the vehicle's electrical system,
• appropriate operating characteristics of the opening mechanism,
• consistency with safety and comfort systems in the rear area of the car.

For the user, this means reducing the risk of problems with the tailgate operation and no need for modifications to the installation or mounts.

Assembly and operational characteristics

The Tailgate Open Switch BMW i3 I01 Bootlid Tailgate Boat Eyelid Push Button is intended for installation in the rear area of the vehicle, in the place of the factory element. Thanks to this, it is possible to maintain the original mounting geometry and proper routing of electrical wires.

Replacing a worn or faulty microswitch with this element allows you to restore:

• the correct response of the tailgate to pressing the button,
• stable operation of the opening system in daily use,
• comfort of operating the rear part of the body without the need for excessive force.

This solution is particularly important in vehicles used intensively in urban conditions, where the tailgate is frequently opened and closed.

Condition of the element and practical application

The offered microswitch button is an aftermarket part, which allows for an economical repair of the tailgate opening system while maintaining compatibility with the BMW i3 I01 design. This type of component is a good choice in situations where:

• the original button has stopped responding to pressing,
• there are problems with irregular tailgate opening,
• it is necessary to replace the element after mechanical damage to the rear part of the vehicle.

Using a dedicated microswitch helps restore the functionality of the trunk without interfering with other components of the lock system.
