Tailgate lock won' release

Your tailgate may have a separate fuse not associated with the door locks. I would check for a fuse and location in your owners manual or go online in your browser and put in 2015 Honda CRVex rear tailgate electronic lock and it should give you some information on the operation and may contain whether if it is fused on a separate circuit.

You will need to remove the inside tailgate trim panel and manually release the hatch latch, then troubleshoot the cause.

More then likely the lock latch release rod has come off due to a failed attaching clip.

If it has an electric release or a cable release you will need to open it from the inside by use of the lever (cable) or button (electric) and the vehicle handbook will provide location details. If the releases do not work the fuse(s) might be blown or the cable broken near the handle.

If all has been tried in the car to no avail it will be necessary to open the tailgate by diverse means - in the case of an electric release it is common for the wiring to break where it passes from the vehicle roof into the tailgate and in the hope that is the fault it will be necessary to remove whatever trim is going to give access to either the electric release or the wires nearby and then provide it with a 12 volt supply and hope that opens the tailgate because if it doesn't it will mean manually manipulating the lock - not often easy for the inexperienced.

The cable of the cable release and the release itself is fortunately much more accessible as they are body equipment and not tailgate equipment.

You will need to detrim the tailgate and manually access the latch mechanism and release the tailgate and find out the cause of the fault.

BMW X5 xDrive 30i automatic tailgate does not w

Your going to need a long needle nose pliers to reach the cable and pull it and it should release the tailgate

first with the door closed you can still get to the nuts that hold the tailgate switch/handle remove the cover from the inside there is 8 clips also 4 screws on rhs of door!.once you have the complete tailgate cluster off remove the 2 screws and 2 springs holding the handle microswitch,then use a small screw driver or something small to push the metal locating pin of the handswitch then use some spray greece or WD40 on the microswitch which is probable just stuck in,try get it switching by push it manually a few times this should fix the problem!.that is asuming that the actual door lock is still working fine!.hope this helps!.Good luck!.

Press door unlock switch in car or on remote to release the lower tailgate, even if the hatch is open.

there's a plastic actuator inside the tailgate that probably broke or at least came loose. You have to crawl into the back and release it. I ended up having to cut a little piece of carpet in the middle on the top of the tailgate area. Right where it fastens. You can manually release the glass with a screwdriver at that point. To replace the actuator, you need to take off the entire tailgate trim and metal underneath that to get to it. It sounds like a pain but trust me, not having the back glass be able to open or the tailgate area is much worse. It takes about 45 minutes to fix. The actuators are less than $10
