    Vert Clicking noise under seat

    Err cycle will not complete. Red light flashing. Trunk storage is down.

    Is the zip tie fix effective? Anything else?

    I have solved it myself.

    What happens is the intermediate gear jumps from its position causing the rat-tat-tat-tat noise.

    I opened up the box from under the rear seat and lubed up that gear. I put the cover back on and found a way to help put pressure on that gear. All is well now.

    yes, this is the exact fix. I've done it twice on two different cars. I use metal plumbing strapping with the holes drilled in it. every hardware store has it for cheap, then just a small thin block of wood on top and strap down with original bolts.
