Resurrecting this thread with hopes of a solution?
I have a 2011 LC and the rear hatch won’t open. As I recall, the left button under the hatch trim is larger, rectangular, and when pressed will both unlock the car and open the hatch. The second button is small, circular, about the diameter of a dime and will lock the car when hatch (and all other doors) are closed.
Now, however, the left button will neither unlock the car nor open the rear hatch. The right button, tho, will still lock the car.
We’ve had a wave of neighborhood crime activity, and my car with the ski box sits in the driveway unfortunately. It is possible someone may have attempted to break in, but i don’t see any other signs, scratches, or scuffs is the well coated dirt and grime from recent road-trips to the high country.
I tried to lock, unlock, repeatedly, with the physical key in driver’s door but did not have any luck. I haven’t disconnected the battery yet, but figured I’d try here in parallel and see if other suggestions came about?
Regardless, with ARB storage drawer (only passenger side) will I even be able to crawl into the back to disassemble anything with hopes of replacing any parts that might be broken? Locksmith going to have any luck? Hacksaw?
