Tailgate operation completely failed today for the first time.unable to open and close tailgate electrically or unlock tailgate,having to use the emergency release inside boot to unlock.any ideas?
Maybe a little late here but i have a fix for this after turning down my dealers generous offer of a 750gbp fix i did some extensive googling and found this.... With your ignition on open the tailgate using the catch inside then turn off ignition and disconnect the battery for a minute. Reconect the battery and turn on ignition and let the warning lights go through their cycle. With the ignition still on shut the tailgate and hey Presto should be as good as new.
thanks a lot u were spot on.
brilliant . . . saved me £75 at least and no doubt the new latch they would have sold me. thanks
OMG finding this piece of information is amazing ..THANK YOU SO MUCH , very happy right now, I went out and fixed it at 11:30 pm lol
Totally brilliant - you saved me a lot of money
Amazing - I was quoted 520euro with a possibility of needing another part for 800euro - this was in the Honda Service Centre in Dublin, Ireland. Your fix is just brilliant thank you so much!
Just used this method after same problem and it worked treat! Your a legend, bet that saved me plenty $ at the workshop!
OMG you are amazing!! Thank you so much, my tailgate failed after the battery in my key went flat...I used this method and as you said 'Hey Presto' worked first time. Now my dogs are extremely happy as they get to go out in the car again!
I had this issue and This method works...i have had this issue pop in up few times recently...not sure it's due to my headlamp light not working and replacing or one of my brake lights not working. But every time I try this method it resets the warning light and tail gate works perfectly fine. I need to keep an eye on what triggers the tailgate light to come on. Any advice or tips please share. Thank you again for this fantastic solution! Happy Christmas and New Year!!
My tailgate became faulty after I transported a settee with the tailgate up. I don't think the system liked the fact that it was trying to lock it, but couldn't. It was alright fot a couple of days, but appeared to have a delayed failure and completely failed at the worst possible time when in France with a noitful of dogs! I seem to have seen on a another discussion thread that these tailgate fail of you drive off with it not securely closed.
This method certainly did the trick, however it did fail one more time a week later. I reset it and its now been fine for months.
Thanks for this great help.
