Tailgate Latch not working V70-XC70 2000

I'm sure that there is one, probably in Europe somewhere (the 2000 model equals the 1999 model in EU). But the wiring harness requires wire replacement to all of the functions in the rear hatch - lights, wiper motor, lock. There is no wire harness replacement just for the hinge area.

You are relegated to cleaning up the wires, crimping/soldering, and re wrapping the bundle. Just make sure the zip tie is not too tight, by moving the hatch up and down and watching the wire bundle move.

It's a pain, but if the weather is pleasant, not too bad.
