My 2016 Z51 C7 has a problem with the rear hatch not opening.
The car sat in the garage for several weeks without starting.
When I started it yesterday it cranked slowly, then started.
The radio presets went blank but returned to normal.
I had the “year & half” old battery checked today, all good.
Rear hatch won’t open with remote or inside dash button.
No clicking noise either.
ANY help appreciated,
thank you
If you are going to let the car sit for weeks at a time, you need to have a battery maintainer on the car to keep from having issues like you had from happening again.
I opened it with the key above plate. Did not reset.
Battery is fully charged.
Will install battery tender tomorrow and pull fuse to see if that gets it.
Just performed reindexing procedure several times.
nothing happened.
Did this and still no joy?
Once power is restored:
1. Close the doors.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Put windows down
4. Raise each window and hold the window switch up in the fully closed position for a few seconds after the window is up.
If the fuses check out then check the wiring harness is secure to the latch release mechanism. If they are secure, it could the trunk release module or the trunk release latch that has gone bad. If you are still under warranty, I would take it to the dealer to get fixed.
