Ok folks, I have skimmed over the previous posts on the forum regarding problems with the tail door lock mechanism. I haven't been able to resolve the issue on my 2002 D2. I'm fairly sure I need to replace the motor, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.
The problem is that the tail door will not unlock using either the front dash unlock button or the wireless unlock button on the key. I have to climb over the seat and manually unlock it using the interior door handle. Additionally, the tail door will only lock if I "superlock" the car using the key (push the lock button twice) or manually push down the sill button on the tail door. It does not lock if I try locking the car with the front dash lock button or if I lock the car with the wireless key (only pressing the lock button once).
I have taken out the latch and motor assembly, cleaned everything off and lubed it well. After I reinstalled it I can hear the "clicking" noises from the motor but the lock still does not unlock. Is there something I am missing or should I just replace the motor and latch assembly.
Thanks,
James
