Hi All,
This is my first post, although I have been reading and learning a lot here over the past year.
The rear hatch on our 2010 LR4 will allow one opening after the ignition has been turned off. After that it will not open. There is no solenoid sound, no sign of a motor struggling, nothing. To open the hatch again we need to cycle the ignition button on and off (without starting the engine), after which we can again open the hatch once. It's almost as if it is programmed to do this. Is this some sort of a security feature? If so I'd like to turn it off!
I've read about rear hatch actuator failures, and the difficulty of replacing it once it is dead, so if it is failing I would rather replace it now, but it seems to be functioning fine otherwise. Any thoughts?
