Has anyone had issues with the rear hatch? Mine suddenly won't open or close on its own anymore. I get two quick beeps, but nothing happens when I use the foot sensor, key fob, rear hatch button, or the console button unless I manually start lifting or closing it myself. The hatch still locks normally.Any suggestions on what might be causing this or how to fix?

Likely issue is that the window is down - even just a bit will prevent the motor from engaging.

i personally keep the window lock out button pressed in. that way no one but myself can roll a window up/down without my knowledge.

the driver controls for all windows works regardless if the window lock button is engaged.

only exception is the rear hatch window. the window lock button over rides the overhead button so you have to unlock the master window lock button to roll down the window from inside or outside.

the regular window buttons on the drivers door handle ignore the master lock button, but passenger window buttons are over ridden by the master lock button.

its wonky on application, the 4 windows vs the rear hatch work opposite of each other depending on the master lock button, should be all the same.

Appreciate the feedback guys.

It wasn’t the window. I was having problems with the window up, wipers worked fine. I disconnected the battery and reconnected after 5 mins and the issue is resolved for whatever reason. Maybe this will help someone else.
