So this one has me stumped and I could really use some remote trouble shooting.SWEDCAR or John M?
04 Aero Wagon that I purchased last July w/ 76k. Note that the 04 wagons don’t have a manual (keyed) lock on the hatch, just the cover.
At some point a few months into ownership I noticed that the rear hatch did not lock when the doors locked nor will the alarm go off when the hatch is opened and the alarm is on.
So I did some reading and it sounded like the lock motor might be bad (you can hear it ). So I found a used motor and pulled the rear panel to replace. Looking at the old motor I noted that it push out (unlock) if I manually locked the hatch but would not return to it’s position. Thinking it was the motor, I replaced it with the used part – guess what, same problem.
So I bring it to a local Northern NJ Indy (Hoffman’s) with a Tech 2 and he can’t find a way to fix it. Frustrated I bring it to another Northern NJ Indy (Greco) who was also recharging the AC. He spends over an hour troubleshooting - checks micro switch (working), motor(ok), and all arms(ok). He thinks it might be the TWICE unit itself has an issue since the alarm doesn’t trigger when the hatch is lifted.
Anyone with any ideas? What signal the alarm to go off when the hatch is open? Can only one function on the TWICE go bad?
If it is the TWICE can I source a used one (which year?) and have it married (Tech 2 required I understand) to my car with the existing keys/remote?
Thanks in advance.
