:cheers: Congrats on your 1st vette and 1st post!!! Don't know the answer to your question though, other that being sure you are pushing the button downward. Mine will slide about 1/4 inch before the hatch releases.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new Vette.

Try the other hatch release buttons; if they work service that button, else look into the fuse of the hatch release solenoid. Also, try it with engine running & off.

Then it's likely in the door switch or it's wiring.

You may be able to pick up another switch, if needed, from Contemporary Corvette (link on my site). They vend new and used Corvette parts.
