Please help, out of no where my tailgate will not unlock or open, at the same time the glass hatch wil not unlock or open and just realized the rear wiper does not work either.....what happened? this all happened a few days ago..this AM the battery was dead? Is there a fuse that is "for the tailgate"? why is the car not starting over night? the tailgate dash light comes on when I first drive away and then it goes away?
Please help?
how do I get into the wire harness?
Agreed. It may be a challenge to get the hatch open, but check manuals and see if there isn't a way to release it from inside.
Once it's open, you'll be able to find the wiring harness. Look for any place where the harness is bent, and start there. German cars often have problems with trunk lid or hatch wires wearing and breaking at flex points. BTDT with both Audi and BMW models.
