The hose for the pneumatic locking system has a bad habit of breaking in the area of the black boot at the top of the hatch due to constant flexing.

I cannot remember which side it is, so listen and see, I suspect the right side.

Carefully pull back the boot and repair the break. There are articles here to enable you to do it easily. Replacing the hose in its entirety or just locally are the options. Do not replace it with the same material as it is crap.
