Hi:
I've got a 2012 EX-L with the power rear door lift. I was trying to open the rear hatch glass through what I thought was the right way, but it didn't work :
- Pressed the button on the driver door, but no actuation on the rear glass release ;
- Held the button on the key fob, but no actuation on the rear glass release ;
I then watched a video on youtube that pointed out that there is a button on the outside of the rear lift gate above and to the right of the license plate. I didn't know this button existed (I have an '11 where the hatch opens with the driver door button or the key fob). This button on the outside of the lift gate did work and the rear glass did actuate, release normally.
Two questions:
1. Are the door button and key fobs supposed to operate in the '12 with power lift gate like the '11 without a lift gate?
2. Any advice on best first place to diagnose? I looked at the #20 20A fuse in the underhood accessory fuse box and it still had continuity.
Thanks for your thoughts.
