I have a 2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV. The rear hatch and window will not unlock. It doesnt appear to be a fuse. Is there a way to manually unlock?
Optional Information: 2006 Escalade ESV Already Tried: Several different fuses
Welcome. This is likely a fault with the rear lock actuator. The way to get at it is to remove the trim from the inside. This will be tough, and there are 2 trim pins around the latch for the glass latch, but you can get it open and change out what is needed.
The liftgate wont open either though.
I know, I gathered that from the first post, so you will need to climb in through a back door and get the trim off with the door closed.
There apparently is no way to manually unlock the window or hatch without leaving the panels off. What a crappy design. This car needs a manual unlock
Correct, however, the only time you would need the manual unlock is when there is an issue such as this.
