Rear Door Hatch Not Opening
 

The Rear Door on my 2009 just stopped opening today. Sounds like it could be a dead switch. In calling the dealer, they mentioned that there is really no manual way to open the hatch. So I am looking at a major effort to get to that switch if they have to go through the interior.

Anyone experience this same problem and can share a solution?

Once again, a dealership has to f***king clue what they're talking about.

If you plan on DIYing the job*, the FSM is a valuable resource. Link in my sig.

If you haven't done so already, check the fuse.


*If you have any electrical and mechanical abilities, I highly suggest that you do.

Just to follow up with all of the responses. A member did post a thread "Manual Trunk Release" and it turns out that we do have a manual release cable for the trunk. It is on the left side (Driver Side) in the back by the support bar. Remove the carpet in the back and you'll see a small handle there.

BTW..The manual also identifies this as well.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!
