Once the fob button is pressed twice, there is engagement of the mechanism but the latch still won't open the deck lid.
Any suggestions other than a return to the dealer?
I had the same problem, and I was able to unscrew the steel "d-ring" that the latch uses to lock the decklid. Then I got the latch to work properly, however, now the "Car thinks" that the decklid is open because the interior light is on as if a door is open, and the top won't go back up. Any ideas?
