GX470 hatch lock is stuck

[BigBlue56]

I have a GX470. I heard a little motor in the back of my car running twice today. Then when I got home , we took my son's hockey bag out, and the door won't shut. The lock is stuck.  I've tried disconnecting the battery, but that didn't work. All I did was remove the cables from the posts. After reattaching the cables to the battery, I just tried unlocking the doors.  It didn't work. I can't lock the doors because of that one that is keeping the door open. Is there anything I can do to release the lock so that I can shut the door?

Hi Matthew...welcome to the Forum

I'm sure someone on here will know the exact solution but if it's any consolation, it's a positive thing that the door is open as opposed to locked in the closed position as you can still access the mechanism and remove the door card easily.

I'm sure it's some linkage dropped off or broken but I'll let the experience of others guide you to the solution.

I hope so. Highs are supposed to be in the single digits this weekend. I need to have it working. :(
