hatch not opening (Now fixed)
« on: April 21, 2014, 07:25:28 pm »
00950 - Central Locking Motor - tailgate (V53); UNLOCK
            007 - Short to Ground
 Above scan details are the only  fault code showing.  No visible signs of wear to wires in rubber sleeves
  Opening hatch only possible via inner release trigger  
  Even reset pop mod in desperation :signLOL:
 Any help or a point in the right direction  Thanks

It's gonna be an annoying one it's definitely ya wiring problem...best thing is check that boot plug is getting 12v when you press boot release button on your key. If it is and it isn't rep sounding, could be tailgate handle popper itself.

if u desperately need to get in to it

put the back seats down and in the middle of the boot trim there is a small plastic toe eye cover looking thing
pull it off and stick your finger in to the hole near the back there is a little lever that you need to move then the boot opens
