Hi bro,

I have not tried this before but I think the tailgate can be unlocked with the car key from inside the car. You should be able to find a cover on the inner side of the tailgate near to where the locking mechanism at the bottom centre. Pry it open gently with a flat screw driver protected with a cloth to prevent scratches. To unlock the tailgate, insert ignition key into the cylinder and turn clockwise.

Do remember if you have to manually unlock the tailgate, do remember to manually lock it again. If the actuator is faulty, unfortunately, you'll have to get it fixed by a mechanic. I don't suggest DIY that portion.

And how do I know all this? I read it from the manual

Thanks bro.
Is your manual in English?
Cos mine is in Japanese.
Opened once before, cannot read anything and never looked at it again.

To be honest, I am using a Honda Stream english manual as reference. Thus far, I noticed the two makes are almost identical in features other than physical dimensions. I have been able to use the manual for changing lights bulbs, locating sensors, etc. So far it has been accurate.

Bringing up an old post...

I am facing the same problem as bobsy. I just took over a pre-owned Crossroad recently. The boot lock was still working fine until yesterday. I have sent the car for an initial diagnosis. The problem does not lie with the locking mechanism/motor/actuator as mech unplugged the electrical connector and connect direct electrical source to the "motor". It's working. The mech tested for readings on the connector end and there don't seem to have any.

Electrical problems are complicated and very difficult to troubleshoot. Before I take the suggestion from the mech of doing a small modification by "bypassing" the original wirings, I am taking a long long shot of checking whether any Crossroaders out there ever faced the same problem.

For sharing purpose in case someone encounter the similar problem...

I know it will be difficult to get an answer here. It's so "dead quiet". Went to seek a 2nd opinion. Nothing wrong with the electrics, wiring, actuator & motor. It's the locking mechanism that is faulty.

Hi Bro,

i've had my ride for 4 years. so far no issue so i might not be able to provide an answer. we had a meetup last night so i'm guess some of the bros who prowl the forum might not have a chance to see your post yet.

i'll ask them if they know anything about the lock issue.



cheers!
