Rear hatch

[Stephenxc]

Hello! Recently our 2002 Volvo XC 70 has lost the ability to open the rear trunk hatch door.
Very frustrating as there is no key area on the outside or no handle on the inside to open the trunk.

Has anyone experienced this and if so would anyone have a fix?

Thanks in advance,
Stephen.

Hello. I got my new trunk release motor in today and installed it and it did not work which ruled out it is the trunk release motor mechanism. But the good news after some digging around and listening I determined it was a relay in the trunk and I just replaced it and everything is working solid! So now I have a spare trunk release mechanism. When I have time I will post steps that I talk and photos for anyone else having same issues.

Usually it IS the lock so put it up for sale.
I'm sure you will sell it quickly enough
