v70 1998 tailgate release switch

[samkim69]

Hello,

I have a '98 v70. The electronic Petrol flap release is working, but tailgate release switch is not working. I can hear 'tick' sound when I pull the switch but nothing happened. I already tried to replace the whole set of 'petrol & boot release', but it didn't work either (wasted my money). I don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help me?

Cheers,

Sam

That switch only UNLOCKS the tailgate, it does not actually operate the latch.

It's all in the owner's manual:

Opening/unlocking the trunk/tailgate

The trunk/tailgate locks are incorporated in the central locking system and are locked or unlocked when the driver's door is locked/unlocked.
The trunk/tailgate can be opened by:

Pressing the button on the remote control (A) twice *
Using the master key in the trunk/tailgate ** lock
Using the trunk/tailgate control on the driver's door (B) *



* The tailgate will be unlocked only, not opened.
** The master key should not be used to unlock the tailgate on models equipped with the tailgate lock button. This will trigger the alarm.
