One of the things it could be used for is "arc suppression" which makes sense.
On thing that puzzles me is the rack and pinion arrangement implies it has to be reversed to return the plunger, but I can't see how the Voltage to the motor can be reversed

Yep component looks like that.
The big coil spring just pushes it back (it’s a six start on the motor worm so no problem driving it “the wrong way”).
So presumably the diode’s for dumping what’s generated.
Having looked at the switch/track arrangement it’s not very relevant in this case as the switch is for the centre connector which isn’t used in this fitment. There is however a dead section (black in the picture just before the plastic rivet) at the end of the track to the red motor wire. This causes mine to chatter as the spring keeps pushing it back & making contact again until the power goes off – not sure if it’s meant to do that, don’t remember hearing it on the old one, I can’t see any reason not to keep it powered/stopped briefly, in which case you could probably do away with the track & connect it direct.

That explains a lot, didn't think the spring could do that. So basically, the CCM runs it out, then just "lets go".

That's it.
Would it blow that diode if you connected the motor the wrong way?

I dunno seems a tough little thing according to the data sheet but if e.g. straight across the battery supply yes it would!
However depends whether the CCM output has any overload protection or current limiting, supposing it has and were limited to below 2.5 Amps then should survive.

Hi Simmo, In an earlier post regarding my boot stopping working with the remote or by the button, you also told me to check the boot wiring and it was all a OK. It seems like the white motor has gone.
Highlander, would you have another spare working motor?? Regards Lee

Hi Lee. Thank's for the update. Just in case you're not aware the post with all the photos is now 'locked' in How to do Things. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi All..sorry for being out of touch re this problem but I was on holidays and was waiting for the part Highlander had kindly posted me (white solenoid - actually a motor & gear mechanism). Having returned from holidays the part Highlander posted me was waiting for me at home & I fitted it to-day. Hey presto! It worked! Thanks Highlander!! Looking at my broken white solenoid it seems to me that the motor had given up the ghost - tested the diode on motor & it was working ok. Thank you all for your helpful contributions - much appreciated!

Hi All
I had a go at my tailgate lock this afternoon in the glorious sunshine - YES we had lots of sunshine today and the forecast is for more tomorrow; that will please the Ulster GP riders.
My tailgate would only open with the key, which is a real pain in the proverbial.
I stripped the inner panel off and then removed the nuts that hold the number plate panel. I removed the barrel and took it to the workbench for a strip down. Awkward little bu%%er - the top two plates for the key fell on the bench and I didn't know which went where. I cleaned out all the crud and reassembled it with new grease. It was trial and error with the key plates but I eventually got them right.
Cleaned the whole thing up and re-greased where needed. Refitted to my car and it works a treat. Well pleased I must say. It was touch and go as to whether it was going back together properly; you just have to be patient.
I would not recommend this to everyone, only those who have patience and a good memory as to where everything goes.
HTH
Tom

That reminds me of my school days when we were told to stop using calculators (abacus) because they stopped us using our brains. My teacher need not have worried as I didn't get any initially.
