My Honda Accord 2004 tailgate would not open with keyfob or manually, tailgate light on dashboard on. Took it to Honda in Colchester expecting large bill but they fixed it quickly by disconnecting battery for 30 secs - with ignition key removed (important). Reconnected battery, put ignition key in, dashboard lights cycled, then opened tailgate by hand. Checked it's not sticking. Then used keyfob and it works! No problems since. Apparentlly it's a cold weather thing. No charge - full marks to Honda's Glynn Hopkins of Colchester.

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.

Have had this problem. Solve it by reading the owner's handbook, which gives clear instructions. Do not use the key in the tailgate door before reading the instructions.
