Actually its inconsistent. Many times with the car running and in park, I jump out to access the rear hatch. Sometimes it will open and sometimes it will not. When it doesn't open, I have to turn off the car and then the hatch opens. Any idea why this happens? Very inconvenient to have to turn off the car.
Could have something to do with the doors being locked. Try powering up...... 1) lock the doors......open driver door & attempt to open hatch. 2) unlock the doors.......open driver door & attempt to open hatch. Did the hatch open with #1......#2......both.......neither?
Yep. SMS and/or FOB button will not work with the car running. The lock/unlock switch on the driver's door does, though...
I am not sure about the hatch opening while the car is running, but it will not unlock unless you use the driver-side unlock button. The inconsistency may be that the hatch is or is not locked when you put the car into Park.
It's not that the hatch won't open when the car is running, it's that the SKS and Fob are disabled when the car is running, which means you can't unlock the hatch using either. As stated above, the unlock button on the inside of the driver's door will work. Tom
