Wonder if any of you can help us,
We had a little trouble with the tailgate not closing so i cleaned up the mechanism and sprayed it etc and it worked perfect for a few months, now its stuck shut.
The central locking is working fine except you cant hear the click in the tailgate, I checked the fuse and its fine.
I have all the plastics and trim off and for the life of me I cannot find the switch to open it manually.
Can any of you kind souls help.
TIA


Had this in my Corsa when I had one previously. Try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins and see if that resets it. When I took it to Vx that was what they did and it got it working again. They then ordered a new switch and supposedly replaced it under warranty, but I'd never have known if they really did or if this just fixed it.
