REAR BOOT DOOR NOT OPENING ?? 08 LE

Postby cane » Tue Dec 22, 2009 12:43 pm

Has anyone had this problem ?
It just happened bringing back some groceries, closed the door, now it stays shut :shock:

I can see that the netting that goes across seems to be stuck in the door also, maybe thats jamming the sensor ?

Anyone who can help - much appreciated, thanks :wink:

Does the rear window open? And did you try the inside release thats behind the small square cover? you can reach it through the window. Pop the cover and lift up on the lever. If that net is in that latch it may need a good tug from outside or push from inside while you hold up on that lever. I'm also wondering if the battery needs disconnected because of the power closing and latching system. not sure. hope I'm not telling you everything you tried already. Hope this helps!

Yes the rear window opens and I searched for the latch but damn that just seems jammed.
Tell me more about the battery disconnect etc

Make sure the windows is fully closed, maybe even press on it. Otherwise the main door will not open.

If the window opened we now know the tailgate is unlocked. Did you find and try the inside release thats behind the small cover on the tailgate plastic panel? It overrides the electronic latch so disconecting the battery wouldn't matter. Is the cargo net stuck in the latch for sure? if so I would try pulling it out. As to pearl62 post the 08s tailgate will open if the window is unlatched or open but I think my 05 would not.

yep, the net is jammed in there for sure! I closed the backwindow & tried the latch release from behind but that wont budge at all, Iguess I have to take it in to the dealer:roll:

Anyone else had this happen ?
