Hi All,

I recently discovered that my rear tailgate is not locking on my 2003 XC. I pulled off the rear panel and can lock the tailgate manually but I would love to hear any diagnostic ideas.

So far I have checked the following:

--The wires that next to the left side rear tailgate hinge and they appear to be ok as far as I can see.

--The 10amp fuse in the rear fusebox..looks fine and swapped out just to be sure

--I have swapped out some of the relays in the rear fuse box and no changes


Before I either give up and take the car to the dealer or take a guess and buy a new tailgate lock actuator/mechanism I was hoping someone could provide a few more ideas. I am not very good with a voltmeter so I really haven't tested the wires for open circuts.

Thanks in advance!

Angus
