Tailgate lock

Post by ianinnes »

My tailgate will not unlock using the key, as the key will not turn. It will only unlock using key in drivers door & central locking.
Any suggestions, anyone?

I have the opposite problem, the central locking does the 2 doors, but refuses to unlock the boot. It's all part of the fun!
