viktor.n.m Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Hello, I have a strange problem. The car’s locking system works only for the doors, but not for the trunk. The only way I can lock it is with this knob. When I press the remote to lock it, nothing is heard from the trunk. However, since this knob locks it, the mechanism itself should be working. Has anyone had a similar problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 A broken wire in the harness leading to the tailgate? John/Horace, 2late4u and 5rebel9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a couple more ready to break if not so already in the rubber boot upper left side of rear "tailgate" to the car's body. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Like they are saying, look closely at all wires. There are posts with pics on this site. My high 3rd brake light on hatch died, power ok but no ground. While soldering the one wire, could see three other wires showing wear. Electronic solder, heat shrink and tywraps are not expensive, just time consuming. Black polyurethane is good for waterproofing wire loom boot, along with small tywraps for strength.
