I am trying to fix the tailgate mechanism for my daughter's 2008 XC90. When I press the key, there is no sound. I cannot open the tailgate. I think I have removed as much as I can, from the inside, but I can't figure out how to open tailgate. So, my questions: 1. Can I open the tailgate without removing latch mechanism? 2. How can I determine if the problem is with the latch mechanism or the wiring to it or something else? 3. If I have to replace the latch mechanism, how do I get to the screws on the underside of it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Richard Last edited by greyg8r; Dec 18th, 2016 at 03:04.
