thx for the link. i got it fixed!

 

What did you need to do to fix it?

 

the system works off pneumatic lines. When one of the lines breaks the lock doesn't function. I had this same thing happen to me. Came out from the grocery store and the hatch was unlocked. You can hear the air going through the system when it breaks. I took mine to the dealer to be fixed, although there is a "kit" I've seen in a thread here. You first have to find the point where the line is broken. Didn't look too easy to me so I let the warranty take care of it. I think finding where the break is is actually harder than repairing it.

 

well as stated above its not tor hard to fix but first you have to find the break. thankfully mine was broken in a very convenient spot, right where the wires and pneumatic line feeds from the body of the vehicle to the hatch there is a flexible grommet. i just disconnected it and pulled it back to expose the wires and line and i could easily see where the line had broken. from there i just went down to Pepboys and got a flexible hose in there vacuum line area slipped it over both sides of the broken line and that was it! fit perfectly! i forgot to take pics but all in all it was very easy to fix.
