V70 OPEN/shut Tailgate issue
Hi everyone,
First post, but first problem so hardly a shock. From both the button on dashboard or on the key the tailgate will not open on my 2010 V70. It was working fine until the weekend. The motor kicks in and it tries to release and then locks itself shut. It's possible to see the tailgate move, but it's not opening. It opens fine with the manual release under the number plate. Once open it closes up perfectly from the button on the tailgate. Any ideas? |

Firstly, I am no expert but it seems to me that the handle on the tailgate is manually operating the latching mechanism whereas the remotes operate a solenoid to unlatch the door.
I would start by taking the back cover off the tailgate to take a look at the mechanicals and the wiring. There was a thread about fitting a module into the tailgate to open and close from the remote and it had a video on how to remove the cover from the door. Paste this into youtube Volvo XC70, V70, XC60 Power Tailgate Remote Close Function Added. Good luck, Steve |

BTW - don't bother to try and take the lock mech apart. I tried that and marveled at the complexity of a simply door latch. Think Boromir in Lord of the Rings, "what new devilry is this?"
