hatch button
Anyone have a problem with the rear hatch button above the license plate?
Mine was left disconnected after a repair to the rear panel. I plugged it in and it didn't work. Then started working for a day then stopped. I double checked all connection.

My hatch button did not work at NCM delivery. It was taken back to the factory for repair. I worked until I got home, and has not worked since then. Make sure FOB is within 1 meter of the button and that the emergency brake is on. I will have the dealer look at the button when I return the car to repair the "Service Active Handling" light and numerious radio problems.

There have been some reports that the plug may be loose, but if you've checked that then you just have the same problem most of us coupe owners have.

yep, me thinks this is the one issue i truely have. as far as i can tell it's related to the actual button. i've found that the button is sometimes stuck halfway up, (wonder if it's draining the battery in this state - hhmmm...), other times the button is fully down and able to be depressed. I had mine replaced, worked for awhile then started the same problem again. it's the button sticking that is causing it.

I had nothing to do so I popped the DVD in and that's how I learned that there was a button there! Guess I was better off not knowing!!
