Tail gate automatic opening problem V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Pt on  Sat Jul 22 02:40 CST 2023 [RELATED]

2001 xc 70
Tail gate was working from dash button or from key. When you press the dash button it makes a clicking sound and opens enough to make interior light go on. The gate wants to open and keeps trying to open but doesn’t. I sprayed the latch but that didn’t resolve my problem. Any ideas.?

Disclaimer: I have never worked on a V70 tailgate lock. Just some general experience with hoods and tailgates.

Does it open at all? Manually? If so, you could try spraying the lock mechanism as well. Eyeball what happens when you close it. Does the mechanism latch appear to be hitting the striker plate at the correct angle? If it appears to be out of adjustment you could try moving it in small in increments then reattaching to see if that helps.
