Rear lift gate
#41
I checked my gate and all of the lock opertions for that matter todya. I think that the "clunk" is just the actuator resetting, as there is nothing lose rattling etc. in my gate. The lectronics all seem to be in order right now...and I have an exorsist on call in case the electronic demons attack

Told them I'd be back when tailgate won't open and would be none too pleased.

Went to the car, slow at work, and tryed to find the rear liftgate release lever, could not find it. Took a 7" screwdriver, and with the liftgate up I locked the latch. I slid the screwdriver into the slot and pointed towards the lower part of the latch on the driverside. With a little bit of fishing and pushing, was able to unlick the latch. It is not where the book says. It can be done, but take a lot of fishing. You have to angle the screwdriver downwards. Best is to try it with the liftgate open. Good luck!!
