w211 wagon: tailgate lock problems

Hello, new to this forum. Hopefully someone can help me.
Just replaced the tailgate locking mechanism on my 2006 W211 E500 Wagon. The gears on the old one had worn out. This is a genuine mercedes part.

Now the lock keeps on going through a lock/unlock process showing on the dash. It happens when stopping or puling away, or turning a tight corner. I don't see any way to calibrate the lock. Do you have any idea what to do?

Just checked if all the wiring was correctly connected and found that the 10-prong connector to the actuator was half loose. Fixed this and now all is working as normal.
