Need help/hatch release failure

99gmcss · 07-02-2007, 11:40 PM

Hello fellow s10/s15 owners!

I have a 99 gmc s15 4dr, my hatch release is not working at. I have replace dash switch and rear hatch actuator. But all on it's own it will open, and sometimes when I open the doors. But mostly all on it's own it pops open and sets off my alarm. Also I have check fuses and rear hatch wiring. I have a Viper alarm system which does not call for bypass switch, because there is no chip in the key. So what could be the problem?

So the actuator is popping it open?

Maybe when you opened the tailgate panel to switch the actuator, you messed up the locking mechanism.
