problem with hatch lock/power lock system.

just noticed this: when i lock the car with the keyfob, all passenger doors lock, alarm arms, conformation honk. HOWEVER... the rear hatch DOES NOT lock. (Key in the hatch at the vertical position) When i turn the key in the hatch to the horizontal position the hatch is locked, however then it will not open with the key or handle.

advise?

I have the same problem.

Haven't gotten it checked yet though. Two likely suspects: 1) could be a side effect of recoding the locking mechanism; or 2) we closed the hatch on our floor mat, which caused something to break (I can actually hear something loose in the hatch when I move it up and down). Are you still in warranty?

Maybe it's the....

I just had the dealer find out that all my wierd electrical woes were a bad micro switch in the drivers side door handle. Could there be one inside the key ***'bly of the hatch?
