Default Hatch Button

The outside button for the rear hatch is not working, but the FOB will open the hatch, and the inside button works. It's a 2010 GS coupe.
I'll have the dealer take a look at it when I take it in for inspection
in August.
But for now, any ideas?
Thanks, Kliph

It's just dirty. There is a DIY on here somewhere how to take it apart and clean it. Very simple.

Found the thread...

I had to clean mine too.

While you're back there, make sure the metal key works too.

No problems yet, but that area is always wiped down when I do the car.

The concept is when you have the rear lens out to pull and clean the button, lube the linkage of the lock while you are in there pulling/reinstalling the hatch release button.
