Group,
This is the fine time the car has seen real winter (handles as expected), but the hatch lock mechanism in for the wagon lid won't un-engage. The latch won't close fully. I'm going to call the dealer and hope to fix it myself over the phone. Any suggestions? I tried all buttons and latches (at the same time) and trying to help it open with no luck.
Thanks,
Ray in snowy Cleveland
Ray,
Is the problem the lock? If so, I had a situation with my 99 9-5 wagon where I simply could not lock the rear hatch. I could not lock it from inside the car, with the remote, or with the key. Funny thing is that the car did not lock for about 3 weeks before I took it in to be serviced but the day I dropped off the car it locked! I had to go back into the dealership to get my key to unlock the car!
Anyway, the dealer told me that I needed a new solenoid....I think it was close to $200. However, that was over 8 months ago and it has worked well ever since. They told me that they lubricated the solenoid. You may want to try that if you have the same problem.
Good luck.
Bill
