Key FOB works... sort of... 850

I have a 1994 850 Wagon and I can "unlock" the door locks remotely but can't "lock" them remotely. This scenario occurs when the rear hatch lock in the "locked" position.
If I unlock the rear hatch then the remote will both "lock" and "unlock" the doors remotely which is what I'd like it to do (makes sense) but what seems wierd is that I then have to manually "lock" the rear hatch....

Any suggestions or is this the way it is supposed to work. I would have guessed that if I can lock/unlock the doors wouldn't the same hold true for the rear hatch and that it would lock/unlock with the rest of the doors?

Thanks,
makntraks

    I had the same problem a week ago and it mysteriously fixed itself. I have no idea why this happened and why all of a sudden it works again. I used to love this car, but I just bought a brand new Honda Accord so I won't have to deal with the nightmares of the '94 850 Wagon anymore.

    I just hope when I sell the car, the problems don't arise for a while.

    Sorry I could lend an assist, but I wanted you to know I had the same problem and it fixed itself...weird!

    Try to unplug the rear hatch locking mechanism (remove the plastic paneling for access....), then operate the "lock" / "unlock" sequence with the FOB. It may just be a bad mechanism in the rear hatch and needs to be replaced.
