these resistors are now available on Amazon.
I’ll let you all know if these work on Wednesday.

Thanks for the tip. I am able to fix the issue with 3.9K OHM resistors.

what's the OBD code for pinch strip error?

mine also opens very strongly but won't respond at all when closing, but I can manually push it down and it will latch.
highly suspect its the sensor but this is what my reader shows:

5 REDC - Rear-end door closing control module Codes
B1886- 13 CONFIRMED No description available
B1945- 13 CONFIRMED No description available
B1886- 2A CONFIRMED No description available
B18A5- 11 CONFIRMED No description available
B18A5- 2A CONFIRMED No description available

3 REAR SAM - Rear signal acquisition and actuation
B113B NOT PRESENT Fehler: Nebelschlussleuchte links, Openload oder Schluss nach Ubat
B1126 NOT PRESENT Fehler: Schlussleuchte links außen (D5), Schluss nach GND
B1127 NOT PRESENT Fehler: Schlussleuchte links außen (D5), Openload oder Schluss nach Ubat


WOW what an amazing thread, just fixed my R350 this way, cost $5 from Amazon.
thanks all!

I was able to fix mine also with the resistors. Only issue now is that the trunk doesn’t stop closing if it feels an obstruction.
At some point I’ll change the actual sensor but for now this will do.
