Axis is going great, but just recently, I managed to open the rear glass tailgate hatch section separately to the main tailgate section quite a couple of times, but now it's stopped working.

I inspected the fuses, all are OK.

I inspected the mechanism (removed the inside of the hatch section) and moved the mechanism from the solenoid and it worked fine.

I suspect the solenoid, but would be happy to know if there is any lock or button I may have pressed in the interior which stopped it from working!

Do the solenoids have a habit of giving up the ghost, and how easy are they to repair/check (thinking of just applying 12v to see if it triggers...)

that switch is a fucntion of the BCM when then fires a relay which then fires the solenoid. so you are gong to be looking in a few spots. there is a control module in the gate that also runs most of this as well.

if its under warranty I would let someone else fiddle. if you are confident with a multimeter poke and prod the module in the back gate. you are looking for a 5v signal that drops to zero when you push that button. the gate works the same way. both of them feed a module.

Chris,

Any idea where the relay would be? I know where the fuse is, but not the relay.

Do you have a circuit Diagram?

Perhaps I should buy the translated service/car manual....

It will be behind the battery, firewall side. Take the battery cover off then slide the fuse cover up and check all the fuses.

I have the Jap cct diag open so I will see what it says...

Trunk lid opener? That fuse is in the drivers footwell, bottom right fuse, 10amp.

Mine has never worked either...

Ben from Northshore sent me a brand new release button, that I did manage to fit (only time the rear glass has ever openned), but that did not make a difference.

So it's either the control box, or the solenoid.

Have you had the rear door trim off? Its not hard to check the voltages.

Where are you located? If you can drop around I could check it out... Give me a pm.

I stil haven't got around to fixing mine. I still have to investigate the solenoid for the glass hatch bit of the boot.

do you know were that is because mine does open but only when you pull the fuse out then put it back in, the hatch button does not work so could just be that

Sounds like the switch is stuck in. Do you have a multimeter to check its operation?

now i think about it your prob right, no multimeter how would i check scotty if i can get one

Meter on ohms, unplug the switch and put the leads on the terminals/wires. It should be open and closed circuit when you operate the switch.

You should be able to buy a cheap meter for $5 or $10 off Fleabay.

Update.

I ripped the back off again with a friend who had a multimeter.

Switch is working.

Solenoid is working, but not getting the correct signal. Fuse is OK.

We think it's the BCM or what ever the little box is in the tailgate section.

Not sure where to go from here!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
